2004 High School Teacher Program and Math Supervisor
F.A.Q. Page
What does it mean to receive PCMI
funding/financial aid as a High School Teacher or Math Supervisor?
- Air Travel (max $450) and Airport Shuttle
- Standard Housing in a studio condo unit, or in
a private bedroom of a multi-bedroom condo unit at the
Conference Center
- Catered meals of breakfast and lunch,
Monday-Friday
- A modest Meal Allowance of $250 to defray the
costs of dinners and weekend meals
- High School Teacher Program participants
receive a stipend of $60 per working day for a total of $900 (US Citizens or
US Permanent Residents only, or by special arrangement for Canadian
citizens.) Math Supervisors may receive the same $60 per day stipend
if they attend PCMI on "personal time."
What can I do if I am not awarded financial
aid from PCMI, but would still like to attend the program?
- If you are qualified to attend PCMI, contact the PCMI office for information
regarding registration, lodging and other expenses.
May I bring my family?
- HSTP participants are welcome to request private lodging and
bring their families to PCMI. The catered meals served at PCMI are
considered "working meals", and thus are for participants
only. All standard lodging comes with a fully equipped kitchen for the
use of your family. If you will require something larger than standard
lodging (a studio unit), an extra fee will be required.
In what kind of facility is PCMI held?
- PCMI is held at the Prospector Square Lodge
and Conference Center in Park City, Utah. Standard housing at the
Prospector Square is 1.) a studio condo unit with either 2 queen beds or 1 queen
bed and 1 sleeper sofa, or 2.) a bedroom in a multi-bedroom condo unit. Catered meals are served for all participants
at breakfast and lunch on the weekdays. Free access to the health club
and pool at the Silver Mountain Spa next door to Prospector is available.
What options are available for dinner and
weekend meals?
- Park City is full of restaurants ranging from
fast food to very expensive. Also, there are two grocery stores within
walking distance of the Conference Center (or on the free bus route around Park City.) Both grocery stores have extensive take-out
sections.
Can I get around Park City without a car?
- A free city bus operates throughout Park City
and Deer Valley all day and well into the night.
What about child care?
- The Silver Mountain Spa next door to
Prospector Square has a drop-in service. Other options may be
available -- contact the PCMI office. Children should not be brought
to any of the PCMI program sessions.
