Subject: Four FreeSelf Directed Online Only Mathematics Courses for Teachers, 
Staff Developers
 
 On January 1, 2004, the Annenberg/CPB Channel presents four self-directed,
 online only Mathematics courses for teachers, staff developers, and teacher
 educators -- free!

 There are four "Teaching Math" courses available only on the Annenberg/CPB
 Channel Web site at www.learner.org. The courses provide pre-service and
 in-service teachers an overview and exploration of the National Council of
 Teachers of Mathematics Process Standards at each of the four NCTM grade bands,
 (prekindergarten-grade 2, grades 3-5, grades 6-8, and grades 9-12). The goals 
for
 the courses are:

 -- To increase familiarity with and understanding of the NCTM 
Process Standards;
 -- To provide direct examples of effective ways to apply the Process
 Standards in the classroom and integrate their use with content goals; and
 -- To help teachers develop habits and practices that help them continue to
 improve their teaching and help their students' mathematical process and
 content skills.

 Each of the four "Teaching Math" online courses consist of six
 three-and-a-half hour sessions. Within each session text, illustrations, 
animations, video
 programming, and interactive activities are used to present the material.
 Course participants are frequently prompted to reflect on their learning
 through questions and journal opportunities. The course may be used as a 
self-paced
 course, or as part or all of the material presented in a face-to-face course
 or workshop.

 Register for "Teaching Math" or any of our workshops and courses at no cost
 by calling us at 1-800-LEARNER, or sign up at
 http://www.learner.org/channel/workshops/register_info.html
 For these courses you will need a broadband connection to the Internet
 (anything faster than a dial-up modem). Optional graduate credit for most
 workshops and courses is also available. "Teaching Math" offers two graduate 
credits.

 The Annenberg/CPB Channel is produced by Annenberg/CPB with the
