The University of Illinois at Chicago invites you and your CPS colleagues to the:

Spring 2007 CPS-UIC Math Forum

(an expansion of the former Algebra Symposium)

We will continue giving teachers a chance to interact and share experiences with one another around a common theme related to high school math teaching. Please save the dates for these independent workshops. Come as a group for some departmental team-building. There are stipends and CPDU credits.
