COST

Generally speaking, districts use our services for an entire day or days for fall inservice days, summer staff development, and fall and spring workdays. A one-day workshop would run $1450 plus travel. Each added day is $1100. For figuring travel costs, figure about $100/day. All of our instructors are classroom teachers in the southeastern U.S.

WHO are we?    Back to top

We are Advanced Calculator Solutions, a staff development company for 10 years that has designed and delivered hundreds of professional development workshops for high school and middle school math and science teachers in the use of the Texas Instruments' graphing calculators and TI/Vernier laboratory peripherals, such as the CBL, CBL2, LabPro and the CBR. We have been all over the country (and even in Mexico). If you live in the Carolinas or Virginia, we have almost certainly been in YOUR district, or an adjacent one.



WHAT do we do?    Back to top

We do staff development math and science workshop training in your local school or district using using the TI graphing calculators and TI/Vernier lab equipment.

The level of instruction in our technology and content workshops is able to be customized to any grade level and experience level of your math and science teachers. Request are often made from HS/MS supervisors, who want the workshop to be focused on content and differentiated instruction. "My math teachers are boring our students to death!", they often tell us.

Math and Science workshop instruction may focus on advanced use of APPS, lists, programming, computer interfacing, and the CBL. Districts even request specific content themes. That is Algebra, Geometry (83, 84, Nspire and 89), AP Calculus (83, 84 Nspire and 89), AP Statistics, Chemistry, Physics, Physical Science, and Biology. Districts even split staff development days apart. That is half of the day for Algebra and the other half for AP Calculus, for example.



WHERE are the math and science workshops conducted?    Back to top

We do the professional development workshops for high school and middle school math and science teachers in their home schools or school district. Our workshop instructor will come to your school.

The fact that we come to you enables your department and district to not have to pay for travel and hotel expenses for those teachers engaging in a staff development activity. In other words, every teacher in your department or many teachers in your school district can participate.



WHEN are the workshops conducted?    Back to top

Anytime.

A math, science, or TI calculator workshop can be scheduled in an individual school or school district for a teacher workday.

Math, science, and TI calculator workshops can be scheduled during the summer months. They can be scheduled for the in-service week before the school year begins.

Math, science, and TI calculator workshops can be scheduled for a half-day, full in-service day, or multiple in-service days...even Saturdays.
