Evening Sessions

Every month from September to April (except December), The Teacher's Circle will offer an evening event for middle school math teachers interested in exploring accessible, exciting topics in mathematics and learning about a problem-solving approach to teaching math. All teachers are welcome to attend; please Contact Us in advance so that we can have sufficient food on hand. (Dinner is complimentary.) Participants in The Teacher's Circle program who are accumulating instructional hours for course credit through San Jose State University should plan to attend at least six of the sessions.

The events will typically be held on the second Thursday of each month, as summarized in the following table.
