Tri-County Culturally Responsive Fall Conference

September 22, 2022 | 09:00 AM EST

About

The Tri-County Culturally Responsive Mathematics Institute is a collaborative project with Oakland Schools, Washtenaw ISD, and Wayne County RESA. The project is designed to provide opportunities for educators across three counties to learn how to engage all students in meaningful culturally responsive mathematics, to increase engagement and relevance to all students. Our hope is to make these opportunities and resources available across the state.
