The North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCCTM) wishes to recognize and reward those secondary school teachers who make mathematics exciting and who nurture their students' enthusiasm by getting them involved in mathematics fairs, projects, and competitions which extend and enhance everyday classroom experiences. Those teachers who succeed in motivating students to excel in mathematics are the ones we wish to
single out for recognition.

Mathematics Leadership Institute K-12

The K-12 Mathematics Section of the NC Department of Public Instruction will sponsor the 2008 Summer Mathematics Leadership Institute July 22-24, 2008 at the Radisson Hotel in High Point, NC, http://www.radisson.com/highpointnc. Throughout the institute, we will look at curriculum, assessment, professional learning communities, graduation standards, instructional strategies, and NCDPI services. The institute will begin with registration on July 22, 2008 from 8:30 – 9:30 AM and will end on July 24, 2008 at 1:00 PM.

The registration fee for the institute is $250. The fee includes five meals, breaks, conference facilities, materials, and presenters’ fees. Each person registering needs to complete a registration form. (Please feel free to make copies of the registration form as needed.) The deadline for registration is May 23, 2008 or earlier if filled. Please send your completed form and payment to the address indicated on the registration form.

A block of rooms have been set aside at state rates until June 21, 2008 at the Radisson Hotel, High Point, NC. Reservations may be made by calling the hotel directly at 336-889-8888. Participants will need to reserve and pay for their rooms ($63.75 plus tax per night.) Your institute registration fee does not cover the cost of your room. When making reservations, please let the hotel know you are with the NCDPI Math Leadership Institute. A confirmation letter with directions and a tentative schedule will be sent to your summer e-mail address in late May/early June; however, if you include your email address on the registration form, we can notify you that we have received your form.

If you and/or your department chairs/teacher leaders are planning to attend and have not yet registered, please send us an email with this indication along with the number of people planning to attend. Please note however, that no one is officially registered until the completed registration form and payment are received by NCDPI.

If you have questions please make contact as follows:

We look forward to seeing you in High Point!
