The Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI) of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ, offers comprehensive professional development for mathematicians and teachers of mathematics, as well as programs for students aspiring to a career in mathematics.

The Secondary School Teachers Program (SSTP) Summer Session is a 3-week residential program in Park City, Utah, and is part of the larger PCMI program. Teachers are given full support and a stipend during the Summer Session. In addition, 6 quarter-credits of 400-level mathematics are available from the University of Washington for a modest fee.   A related but separate program is a special one-week session for mathematics supervisors, curriculum coordinators, or university mathematics educators involved in designing and delivering professional development.

The SSTP is structured around three goals -  All teachers should be involved in:

• continuing to learn and do mathematics
• analyzing and refining classroom practice
• becoming resources to colleagues and the profession.
