Teacher Education, Content Exposure and Test Prep

Just like students, student teachers benefit from content exposure.
By including the Regents, PSAT/SAT, 6th/7th/8th grade state tests and SHSAT in their training, teachers will develop tangible and memorable problem-solving strategies for their students. Many Teacher Ed programs focus on the undergraduate Math while underemphasizing the secondary Math that teachers will need in their classroom.

Through the process of mentoring and supervising secondary teachers, the philosophy and methodology of Math Confidence will be a powerful tool for instructors to have in their repertoire.
