Dear Colleague,
Please share this with secondary mathematics teachers that you know!
Budapest Semesters in Mathematics Education (BSME) is a 6-week summer program in Budapest, Hungary, where mathematics educators study the renowned Hungarian pedagogy—an approach that places problem-solving, creativity, and mathematical communication at the center of instruction.
Why Hungarian pedagogy matters now: American mathematics education increasingly emphasizes conceptual understanding and productive struggle. The Hungarian pedagogy provides a powerful model for integrating these skills into daily instruction rather than treating them as occasional enrichment. Teachers who complete BSME return with practical strategies they can bring back to their classrooms and share with colleagues.
Program highlights:
Study with Hungarian teacher scholars in Budapest
Field experience at a Hungarian mathematics summer camp for secondary students
Eligible participants earn 8 graduate credit hours through Texas State University
Runs mid-June through late July 2026 (6 weeks)
Designed for both in-service and pre-service teachers
