National Webinars
Online, interactive trainings with a live trainer.
We empower teachers to build a greater understanding of how students learn, develop their math content knowledge, employ strategies that impact student learning, and effectively use ST Math through online and in-person training and support.
MIND Research also offers workshops to deepen participants’ content knowledge while developing instructional practices to move math instruction from practicing procedures to solving and making sense of problems.
Other workshops help participants learn how to shift classroom culture from a procedural, teacher-centered classroom to one that is student-centered. Teachers are provided with hands-on problem-solving lessons that engage learners, resulting in a more productive, creative learning environment.

Suzie Altpeter began her career in education as a third grade classroom teacher, but quickly realized that middle school was her calling. The bulk of Suzie’s classroom career was spent as a sixth-grade mathematics teacher, first in bricks and mortar, and later online.
In 2012, Suzie made the transition to working with teachers outside the classroom as a professional development specialist. With dual masters degrees, one in Educational Leadership & Policy Studies and the other in Instructional Design and technology, Suzie enjoys putting her knowledge and experience towards empowering teachers. Suzie joined the MIND Research Institute during the summer of 2019 as a Learning Experience Designer.
As a resident of Central Florida, Suzie enjoys visiting the local theme parks with her husband and their two sons at every opportunity. Vacation time for the Altpeters finds them cruising from ports near and far.
