Year after year teachers are constantly learning themselves. This summer was no different for teachers in North Carolina where over 200 teachers spend the summer training in math. These teachers were training to teach high school math in a completely new way for the upcoming school year. They were learning to teach the classes with a new integrated approach with new standards that were set at the start of the summer.

2
The new program combines separate subjects like algebra or trigonometry into cohesive levels called Math 1, 2, and 3, so students no longer learn the same subjects in different classes and struggle with multiple textbooks.
