Dr. Sue Snow, Georgia Department of Education, recently announced the next phase of training on the Georgia Performance Standards for high school mathematics. Training will follow the same model as Mathematics 1 with tasks taken from Mathematics 2. This training will be conducted by GaDOE.

Training Dates May 28, 29, and 30, 2008;

Day 4 is scheduled for November 18, 2008
Day 5 is scheduled for January 13, 2009

Training Hours: 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM

Registration Fee: $100 per participant for May 28, 29, and 30, 2008 (includes daily refreshments, lunch on-site, and helps defray cost of meeting rental).
  • FDRESA will hold spaces for four teachers per high school in our service area until April 15, 2008.

  • GaDOE requests that teachers attend as a team and that the team include one teacher of students with disabilities.

  • GaDOE requests that participants should be teachers who will teach GPS mathematics during 2008-2009.

  • Team may include teachers who attended training in 2007-2008, teachers who will coordinate GPS implementation, or teachers who will need training for Mathematics 2 or Accelerated Mathematics 1.

  • Please register (with administrator approval) the four teachers who will most benefit the school's implementation of GPS high school mathematics.

  • All four teachers need to attend training at the same location on the same dates.

  • Teachers will need to register for three separate sessions (Days 1-3, Day 4, and Day 5)

GaDOE will also provide training to grade 8 teachers who will teach Mathematics 1 or Accelerated Mathematics 1. In order to meet group size limits and to accommodate appropriate teachers, FDRESA is asking that one grade 8 teacher per middle school register only if the school will offer Mathematics 1 or Accelerated Mathematics 1 in the 2008-2009 school year.
