2023 Summer Math Workshops
Since 1998, the Mathematics Education Leadership Training program (MELT) at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, has provided cutting-edge professional development opportunities for K-12 mathematics teachers and community college faculty through MELT Summer Institutes. This summer, MELT continues to provide week-long, residential and online Summer Institutes focusing on the mathematical and pedagogical content knowledge needed for teachers to assist their students to succeed.
Please note that MELT Summer Institutes are not only for math CEUs. Some Institutes provide CEUs in digital learning, and general CEUs. Each MELT Summer Institute provides participants with the opportunity of earning either continuing education units (CEUs) or graduate credits.
