Teachers are strongly encouraged to take advantage of additional opportunities through involvement in PCMI's Professional Development and Outreach groups. These groups, based at cooperating university sites around the country, meet regularly throughout the school year and are usually composed of (although not limited to) teachers living in the same geographic region of the country. Other PDO groups may be formed from common professional interests, rather than geographic proximity, and would utilize technology for virtual meetings.

Teachers in the PDO groups meet regularly to

• deepen their understanding of mathematics,
• develop their skills in and understandings of effective teaching of mathematics,
• prepare professional development workshops for high school teachers and conference presentations.

The classic PDO group is facilitated by a cooperating university or college faculty person.
