Our Project: "Count on Learning!"

Working with Prof. Aki Murata from Stanford School of Education, we developed an elementary math curriculum for the summer class of Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP).

The STEP program is a nationally renowned teacher preparation that leads to a Master of Arts in Education and a preliminary California teaching credential.

The summer course for STEP Elementary students runs for five weeks with two lessons of three hours each per week. Each class has about 20 students.
