The Center for Innovation in Education is…
the leading provider of math inservice in the country. Our courses are aligned with both the NCTM and Common Core Standards.

- Math Their Way (Grades TK-K-2)
- Math a Way of Thinking (Grades 2-6)


Our math programs provide a manipulative-based, activity-centered approach to mathematics. They focus on children developing an understanding of and insight into the patterns of mathematics, while emphasizing the basic arithmetic operations necessary to meet skill-based standards.

Volunteer Helpers (with 15 or more paid enrollees)

Helpers also have the same credit options as the participants. No helpers are needed for workshops with less than 15 enrollees.
