PD = professional development

Today we unveil Two New Acronyms that have been minted for 2006.
DIPDProgram for Designing and Implementing Professional Development
It just rolls off the tongue! But even though DIPD is just here for a week, Catherine really should not dub us DIPs.
TPCTPC is another big NSF program of grants. The letters stand for Teachers Professional Continuum.
We have a new TPC grant jointly with EDC. You should cherish and support it. If you are
not in PD3, it is probably paying for you.
Our TPC’s name is Mathematics for Teaching: A Problem-Based Resource for Teaching. Should we call it TPC or MFT or ... MFTPBRT?
Come back in 2007 and find out!
Assessment(AKA The Test)
1: Show with words, tables or graphs the relationship among at least four PCMI acronyms.
2: Use 3 or more PCMI acronyms in a single sentence.
3: Work in your groups to design a card for a game called PCMI Acronym Bingo.
4: What is EDC? (Ask Bowen.)
5: What does LSMFT stand for?
