“I want you to know that this nine-day MEC course passed quickly and I was very tired at the end of the day – AND I WANT MORE!!”  - High School Teacher


“I feel that the more parents get involved with MEC’s program, the better chance we have of building mathematically powerful students. Parents need to have an understanding of how we as teachers are approaching the teaching of math in order to be able to help their own children.”  - Special Education Teacher
