| Summary: | Shannon-Smith and Fawcett introduce a mathematics workshop for teachers called "Learning 24/7: Community as Classroom". The workshop was coordinated by the Summit Education Initiative, a nonprofit organization formed in 1996 by the business community in Summit Country, in the Greater Akron OH. The representatives in the workshop discuss upcoming or current programs that would allow the organization to support the middle school mathematics curriculum. Then an educator with a knack for incorporating mathematics into real-life scenarios designs the activities. The critical final step is piloting the activity with students and parents. |
