Auction Proceeds: Inspired teachers make learning come alive for children. There is no substitute for high-quality professional development opportunities in giving teachers exciting new concepts to try in the classroom and ensuring that they stay passionately engaged and committed to their profession. Harvard Project Zero Summer Teacher Institute -- BMS will be unique once again in sending teachers to attend a week-long intensive seminar at Harvard's Project Zero Summer Teacher Institute. Teachers examine what true understanding is and how it develops in children at different ages. The program is designed to help teachers create classrooms, instructional materials, and out-of-school learning environments that address the challenges our children will face in a rapidly changing world. Innovative Teacher Project in Reggio Emilia, Italy -- This groundbreaking program, hailed by Newsweek in 1991 for creating the best preschools in the world, deeply honors and respects children for their potential, capabilities, and humanity. As part of the Innovative Teacher Project, BMS teachers will visit preschool programs in Reggio Emilia, Italy, and participate in lectures and discussions about this special approach to early childhood education. Asilomar Math Conference -- BMS teachers will have the opportunity to participate in this 50+ year old tradition, hailed by many as the best mathematics education conference in the nation. Over 8500 teachers, administrators, and parents gather to explore exciting, effective mathematics education techniques and curricular materials. This year's theme is "Mathematics from Many Angles." |
