Partnership Possibilities

As many of you may know, RUSD is pursuing federal and state funding to create a partnership with UCR and RCC to provide staff development in the area of math content and pedagogy for teachers in grades 5 through Algebra I. Recently, UCR Extension was included in the partnership. In addition to summer workshops and student academies, today's meeting held promise for college credit for participants; additionally, new courses will be developed that will mirror the content of our academy. (Imagine courses titled "Language and Concepts of Elementary Mathematics", From Arithmetic to Algebra" and "Language and Concepts of Algebra.")
RUSD is fortunate to be located amidst such outstanding institutions with whom we can build relationships. Thank you to all involved.
