Making Math Real is an intensive and comprehensive professional development program, and to date, we have worked with thousands of educators nationwide. In this capacity, we provide workshops, seminars and inservices that range from a 3-hour introduction to the program through a series of course work that spans over 320 hours of instruction. Since we have touched so many thousands of educators in such a wide range of formats, we cannot possibly account for each educator’s development and proficiency. And, unfortunately, there have been educators, who after only a 3-hour introduction, have inappropriately advertised themselves as “Making Math Real trained.” Consequently, we are unable to provide referrals for Making Math Real practitioners or publish lists of educators who have taken our courses. We deeply empathize with parents who want to provide support for their children and would understandably request our help in locating professionally competent educators. However, as in finding any qualified professional, there are no shortcuts. Authentic word-of-mouth is still the best way to find the best-suited professional for your child. The above links provide lists of educators from which you can begin your research. Please remember, it is the teaching, not the program that will provide success for your child. The Making Math Real methods are the most comprehensive, systematic, and incrementalized in the world today. However, an educator who merely takes a class does not guarantee that educator’s ability to teach these methods effectively.
