Developing regional networks of Math Teacher Circles
Sept. 11, 2026 – Sept. 13, 2026
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to equipping Math Teacher Circle (MTC) leaders to establish or reestablish MTC networks in their state or region. Regional networks enable MTC leaders to share resources and responsibilities efficiently. Through activities like summer workshops, leader meetings, facilitator exchanges, and mini-grants for local MTCs, these networks serve as powerful infrastructure supporting growth and sustainability for the MTC community in an entire state or region.
The primary goals of the workshop are:
- Building relationships with other regional MTC leaders from around the country
- Sharing knowledge and experience about starting and sustaining a regional MTC network
- Planning how to implement regional MTC networks in participants’ own areas
Space and funding is available to participate in the workshop. Please apply by filling out the on-line form no later than June 1, 2026.
Applications are open to all current MTC leaders, with preference given to teams of two or three leaders from the same region, and to leaders of regional MTC networks that struggled during COVID and are now looking to restart. Accepted participants will be offered funding in accordance with AIM’s travel reimbursement policies.
This event will be run as an AIM-style workshop. Participants will be invited to suggest open problems and questions before the workshop begins, and these will be posted on the workshop website. These include specific problems on which there is hope of making some progress during the workshop, as well as more ambitious problems which may influence the future activity of the field. Lectures at the workshop will be focused on familiarizing the participants with the background material leading up to specific problems, and the schedule will include discussion and parallel working sessions.
