Summer Institute
Save the Date for the 2025 MCMI Virtual Summer Institute: Motivation Matters
July 24, 2025 with Featured Speaker Dr. Ilana Horn
Join us via Zoom from 9:00–2:30 for a day of virtual learning for K–12 math educators and administrators.
Do you hear crickets or experience avoidance to your carefully planned lesson? Participation in math class feels socially risky to students; silence often feels safer. You can create a learning environment where students want to join in. Dr. llana Seidel Horn will kick-off the day by exploring the five factors that lower the risks and raise the benefits of participation: Belongingness, Meaningfulness, Competence, Accountability, and Autonomy. The learning will continue with breakout sessions led by MCMI coaches and teacher leaders from the region.
