SDE's Singapore Math Experts
SDE works with a team of education experts who are trained in the content of Singapore Math and its implementation in the classroom. Our trainers have used Singapore Math in the classroom, from supplementing their existing math curriculum with Singapore Math to adopting Singapore math as their core math curriculum.
Many of our trainers are published authors of books that provide teachers with practical, ready-to-use math resources for classroom teachers.
Our team can deliver training in a variety of formats – annual national conferences, one- and two-day state conferences, full-day seminars, multi-day Intensive Institutes, customized onsite/inservice training, and online courses.
