The courses are appropriate for teachers of grades 1-9, and offerings are relevant for special education and bilingual teachers. All courses are online.
These courses are designed to promote the teaching of mathematics for robust understanding in inclusive thinking classrooms. The credits earned can be applied towards a 15-credit Mathematics Education micro-credential and/or Brooklyn College’s distinctive Childhood Education Teacher (1–6) Mathematics, M.S.Ed.
Start Date: May 28, 2024, 3 weeks of synchronous and asynchronous meetings, plus 1-week asynchronous final project Course Focus: Supporting emerging bilinguals/multilingual learners and students with differing abilities learning mathematics. Analyzing and Implementing high-quality curriculum materials
Start Date: July 15, 2024, 4 weeks of synchronous and asynchronous meetings
Deadline: April 30, 2024
You can submit the application without the transcripts. If you previous school participates in electronic transcripts, have them sent via e-mail. If your previous school sends paper transcripts only, send them to:
