Friday Institute Professional Development Courses The Friday Institute for Educational Innovation's free highquality online professional learning courses for educators are now open for registration for the fall. More than 71,000 educators have participated in these courses so far, which have helped improve their professional practice, discover new resources, and learn new skills. In one of their new courses, Teaching Math to Young Children, participants will develop a deeper understanding of developmental progressions in early math, investigate common methods of progress monitoring and how monitoring intertwines with progressions to inform instruction, and use classroom activities and teaching structures to support young children to view and describe their worlds mathematically. Learn more and see how you could also be eligible to earn professional development hours for those skills you've learned on their course page here. https://place.fi.ncsu.edu/ local/catalog/course.php?id=31&ref=1 Questions can be directed to Heather Bronson at (919) 513-8512 or heather_bronson@ncsu.edu.
