Iowa Science and Mathematics Teacher Educators Summit 2010
On August 3, 2010, faculty members representing most of Iowa's colleges and universities gathered at Grinnell College in Grinnell for the second annual Iowa Science and Mathematics Teacher Educators Summit conference hosted by IMSEP.
The day-long event continued an essential dialog on Iowa’s need for exemplary teachers of science and mathematics, and how all of Iowa’s programs can work together toward that common goal.
Materials from the meeting are now available.
