| During session one, teams become familiar with the goals and outcomes of the institute as well as the structures (mixed groups for problem solving, team time) and processes (structured conversations, debriefing problem-solving sessions) that they will use during the sessions. Participants read about and discuss NCTM's principles and standards and solve a problem that highlights the Number Sense and Operations standard. Session One also introduces the team to ideas about the change process and the team's role in developing a plan for implementing a new vision of mathematics education.
