From the desk of David Berg...

It’s about the TEACHING, not the program.

You, the educator, are the key to the student’s success.


INTRODUCTION
The intensive and comprehensive Making Math Real Professional Development Program for educators fosters the understanding and practice that it’s the teaching, not the program that ensures successful learning.  The challenges and rigors of effective of teaching are never solved through programmatic solutions - if only teaching were that easy.  Making Math Real Professional Development is not a replacement for any adopted curriculum, rather it provides the essential structure for teachers to meet the educational needs of all students, special needs through accelerated, regardless of the textbook or program.

All professional development starts with the Making Math Real: Overview course. 

The Making Math Real Professional Development Program is designed to front-load teachers with the content methodologies, then provide follow-up in class demonstrations and coaching.  The culminating integration is the prescriptive design of scopes and sequences and assessments.

"Over the past 3 years, Making Math Real has helped our school's teachers and students develop a passion for mathematics.  It has gone from a feared subject to one of the most creative and exciting at the school.  Their professional development, consultation, and in-class modeling have been invaluable in creating the capacity in the staff to actually TEACH mathematics, rather than merely assign it."
