Welcome to the Pennsylvania Mathematics Initiative!
PMI is committed to:
- Improving mathematical education for all children in Pennsylvania schools at the elementary school levels.
- Strengthening the understanding and implementation of mathematics, enabling teachers to make better pedagogy decisions about mathematics.
PMI will:
- Close the gap between mathematical training for teachers and the demands of the contemporary mathematics classroom.
- Promote teachers’ expertise in mathematics and mathematical thinking.
- Develop teacher-leaders to aid other math teachers within their districts.
How we accomplish our mission:
- Week-long intensive summer workshops hosted on the University Park campus.
- One-day seminars focusing on implementing pedagogy in the mathematics classroom.
Participant Testimonial
“I learned a lot about math and a lot about teaching. I have a new appreciation for how my students feel when learning new concepts and feel that I have a better understanding to help them work through their misunderstandings.” – 2013 Workshop Participant

Hi,
I’m a special education teacher and I’m quite interested in your program. I’m always looking for new and exciting ways to teach this population. I’m also hoping to get a scholarship as I work with inner city public schools.
Thanks.
Desiree, if you give me your contact information, we can see if we can set something up.
I am looking for some professional development for next summer. I currently teach 4th grade. I would like professional development for math and science. Please let me know if you have any development for the 14-15 school year.
