The instructors for these workshops are practicing middle school teachers who were participants in the North Carolina Middle Mathematics Project. The goal of the North Carolina Middle Mathematics project was to improve mathematics education in grades 6-8 across the entire state of North Carolina by developing a leadership network of middle grades mathematics teachers that would provide professional development to other middle school mathematics teachers across the state. Most of the instructors are Nationally Board Certified teachers in Early/Adolescence Mathematics and hold a Master’s Degree in Mathematics Education.
