Join us for four days of intensive, exciting early math exploration. Led by instructors from Erikson Institute’s Early Math Collaborative, authors of Big Ideas in Early Mathematics: What Teachers of Young Children Need to Know, the event promises to be both challenging and fun.

Geared towards teachers of pre-kindergarten and kindergarten, as well as coaches, administrators, and other teacher educators, this hands-on professional development opportunity will delve deeply into practical ways teachers can improve early math instruction. The Summer Institute will help make early math learning meaningful for young children and their teachers.
