Longtime CES Licensure Instructor, Matthew Beyranevand is passionate about math.  In his work as the Math and Science Coordinator for Chelmsford Public Schools, Matthew wants to get  all students excited about math.

Busting stereotypes about girls and math, four students from Chelmsford Middle School created a music video to encourage girls to get excited about math .  As part of a video series coordinated by Matthew, these young women wrote the lyrics, recorded the video and sang the song.  Matthew’s innovative strategy gets kids engaged with the topic and makes them more receptive to taking on more challenging concepts in math.

Congratulations to Chelmsford Middle Schoolers, Lyla El-Gamel, Sachi Badola, Danielle Mello and Georgia Horan for their creative and engaging work, and to Matthew for his innovative and exciting teaching!

CES’s Administrator Licensure program is offering two new courses this semester in Marlborough and Northampton.  Due to a scheduling change, there is still time to register for courses offered in both locations.

Courses in Marlborough will now begin on February 3, 2016.

Courses in Northampton will begin on January 20, 2016 (no change).

You do not need to be a program enrollee to take either course.  You can take a course to try out the program, or to get professional development in a specific area of practice.

Spring 2016 course registration is now open! Registration deadlines are staggered this semester, so pay close attention to the course and the location as you register. The deadline for most teacher courses offered in Northampton and most administrator courses offered in Marlborough is coming up quickly on December 30th.

Registration deadlines vary this semester due to new schedule arrangements that give our students greater flexibility. Courses begin, end, and meet face-to-face on separate dates in Northampton versus Marlborough so that teacher candidates can more easily find courses that accommodate their schedules.

For more information about course registration deadlines and details, visit our online course catalog. If you have any questions about registration, email registrar@collaborative.org.
