Investigations Professional Development

Online Workshops
These two-day synchronous online workshops offer the opportunity to learn about Investigations 3, in real time. Participants do math, analyze classroom video, and interpret student work in each 3-hour session. They share, collaborate, and reflect with colleagues, and interact with experienced Investigations facilitators.

Online Courses
These 7-week asynchronous online courses offer a convenient and flexible opportunity to experience mathematics teaching and learning in an in-depth way. Sessions include doing math, watching classroom video, and analyzing student work. Participants engage weekly (approximately 4-6 hours), at the times that work for them, on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. They share, collaborate, and reflect with colleagues and interact with facilitators who have extensive experience with Investigations.
