The main goal of the project is to have outstanding teachers lead               seminars in a program designed to upgrade the mathematics competence of         less prepared teachers. There are to be two seven-week workshops with 25        participants; each workshop will be lead by a master teacher with               significant expertise in the topic of the seminar which they lead. The          plan is to use these seven master secondary school teachers as the main         instructional staff of the workshop. Each week a major topic in                 secondary school mathematics is addressed by one of the master teachers.        Some curriculum materials are also prepared for use in the participants'        classes. Current topics are discussed, such as problem solving                  activities, probability, statistics and data interpretation, use of             computers in the mathematics classroom, and geometry. Also, the master          teachers devote time demonstrating and discussing effective                     instructional techniques and classroom organization. The follow-up              activities include classroom observations, interviews with participants,        supervisors and students. The dissemination activities include                  distribution of curriculum materials developed at the workshop, a               newsletter containing reports of classroom use of materials and methods         in their classes, and possible use of participants as mentors in future         workshops.
