Education Program for Teachers of Mathematics

Department of Mathematics, Stanford University

The Education Program for Teachers of Mathematics (EPTM) is a new distance learning program offered by the Department of Mathematics at Stanford University through the Stanford University Continuing Studies Program, and in cooperation with Stanford University's Education Program for Gifted Youth (EPGY). EPTM courses use state-of-the-art multimedia technology to provide K-12 mathematics teachers with the opportunity to continue their education, and to deepen their understanding of mathematics.

The founders of EPTM believe strongly that the more teachers know and appreciate mathematics, the more easily and effectively this knowledge and appreciation can be passed on to their students

This program consists of computer-based courses designed specifically for K-12 teachers of mathematics. Teachers can continue to supplement their mathematical education in a manner that fits their individual schedules.

To further enrich and extend their understanding of advanced mathematics, teachers can enroll through EPTM in EPGY's university-level mathematics courses:

Each of these courses is the equivalent of a quarter-long undergraduate-level course in mathematics at Stanford. For enrollment information, please contact Marc Sanders, Head of EPGY University-Mathematics.
