OCTM's Professional Development Cadre(PDC): With the adoption of Oregon's K-8 Core Standards for Mathematics and the continued work with the 9-12 Core Standards for Mathematics, how will classroom teachers learn about the new mathematics standards? How will teachers transition from the 2002 math standards to the 2007 math standards? To answer these questions, visit the PDC page to download the flyer listing 2009-'10 PDC Offerings. Also, visit this page for downloading materials to aid in the math curriculum adoption process.
