Dear math teachers/tutors, please fill out the quick form and we will be in touch as soon as possible.

    Our Teaching Partners Program

     Is directed from our Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA office from where we are implementing an ambitious MAA (Mathematical Association of America) program ‘AMC (American Mathematics Competition) for all’ for students who need extra support, was formed by LBA Foundation/TLUPS/educators that understand this interconnected global world and want to make a significant impact in our future generations.

    We are in the process of building out door concept schools in India, Canada (expected to be ready to receive students in Summer) and a charter school in Cedar Rapids operational by 2022-23 academic year.

     In USA, with less than 25% of U.S. citizens traveling abroad during their lives, MAA IPG believes we must bring the educators of the world to our future generations. Today’s children and young adults understand that while they are citizens of a specific country, they are part of something much bigger, a global
    community. Yesterday’s pen pal is today’s video hangout. Children growing up today will not know or understand geographical boundaries, and instead communicate effectively and efficiently with their peers across the globe. Time zones and different languages will no longer be barriers, replaced with cultural understanding and awareness.

    We are looking for our teaching partners program participants to get trained, supported, resourcified in providing our program to their community.

    1. Professional development opportunities (access all lectures, targeted training, intercultural communication training, certification and continuing education credits)
    2. Teaching opportunities in North America and Europe (short term volunteering positions to year long teaching assignments)
    3. Training projects to be picked up for schools around world in MAA (Mathematical Association of America) programs
    4. Support in securing seats in top math and science masters program for working teachers in top schools including Stanford, Waterloo, Iowa, Coe college
    5. Grants and scholarships
    6. Research, conferences, travel grants
    7. Access to books, research library

    We expect program participants to bring in their community of students and institutions to our programs.

    We will provide limited number of seats in our competition and research program to participants at no cost for them to give it to their students and encourage other students to join the program. We will provide a basic annual fellowship for program participants and expected to provide training services for that. Any assignment over and above basic work will be compensated separately. Program participants can actively promote and position our math products in the local community and will receive special pricing and we encourage to up-position.
