Poincaré Course Launch
PoincareInstituteProject LaunchJanuary2011
On January 7 and 8, 2011, the first cohort of 60 teachers, from the nine partner districts, took part at Tufts in the launch of the first of the three Poincaré Institute online graduate courses. We spend Friday evening socializing and learning about folks from the various districts. On Saturday we got to work. In the morning we took part in animated discussions about ordering pairs of numbers and categorizing a variety of mathematics representations. On Saturday afternoon we dove into the online learning environment and got started with the challenge for Week 1. Lots of work but lots of fun. In short, it was a memorable weekend and a great kickoff for the Institute.
