Trainer’s Log
Fifth Grade Math – Montevallo
The AMSTI program is interested in learning more about the impact of the professional development on
the way the program is implemented in the classroom. It is important that we understand what material
is covered and what methods are used to present it to teachers. Information collected from the AMSTI
trainers will provide useful feedback that will help improve future trainings and on‐going professional
development.
Please complete this cover page on the first day of training and one brief training log at the end of each day
of training. Your responses will be kept confidential. Data will be reported in the aggregate and no
individuals will be named.
Thank you for your cooperation. We appreciate your help!
