School and District Workshops & Conferences

All Power of Ten presenters have attended several Power of Ten workshops and at least one Power of Ten Trainers’ Workshop. Most of the trainers have presented workshops in other curriculum areas and several have worked at the district or university level. Many have post graduate degrees in curriculum and some have a specialty in mathematics education. The Power of Ten/Teachable Moment system can be melded with almost any other textbook or system. It is grounded on solid pedagogical principles and the trainers often regard other systems or ideas as strategies that may work in some circumstances but not in others. Therefore, there is no set way that a Power of Ten workshop can be delivered. Presenters must espouse their own beliefs in the context of the Power of Ten/Teachable Moment system. If presenters do not do this they may well sacrifice some of their own beliefs and principles and their presentations will lack authenticity and enthusiasm.

This is why all workshops are negotiated directly with the presenter. Each presenter brings different experience and it is important that the booking school or district understand who they are booking and why their experience is relevant. Similarly each presenter sets his/her own honorarium (presently between $500 and $1000).
