News for Summer 2013:

• May 9, 2013: We are starting to fill up, but have some open slots available for the 2013 workshop. Don't delay! Register now before we fill up!
• March 28, 2013: We would like to mention here that the workshop is open to all North Dakota math teachers that teach grades 6 - 12.
• March 22, 2013: We would like to announce a change in what we're doing. In earlier years, we required the Praxis II content test be taken before the workshop, with scores sent to us. This year, we will not be requiring this. Instead, we will buy the Praxis exam (with the permission of ETS), and administer it during the first day of the workshop. This should make things much easier. So, if you are a first-time attendee, you do not have to take the Praxis exam before the workshop begins.
• February 13, 2013: It is definitely been a while since we've updated this site. We are excited to announce that the summer workshop will again happen this summer in June. The official dates are June 17 - June 28, 2013 (excluding the weekend days in between). Our topics will tentatively cover geometry and probability. Stay tuned for more updates!
