The 2025 Rosenthal Prize Summer Institute
Wednesday, July 9 through Friday, July 11 (New York City)
This summer, MoMath will welcome a select cohort of educators to New York City (travel and lodging expenses paid) for a unique professional development opportunity. Educators will take an in-depth look at the mathematical content and pedagogy of Rosenthal Prize lessons, learn how the lessons connect to national standards for math education, develop plans to implement these lessons in their local schools, come up with ideas for new lessons inspired by the goals of the Rosenthal Prize, learn new ways to promote mathematics learning in schools and communities, experience the wonders of the Museum, and see what goes into making interactive math exhibits and programs. In addition to paid travel and lodging expenses, participants will also receive a $750 stipend for implementing the lessons, participating in bimonthly meetings throughout the year, and sharing the lessons with other educators. Apply at rosenthalinstitute.momath.org.
