There's an organization whose name I've forgotten, it's something like 'stars'
or a similar educationally-styled inspiration.  Anyway, they train primary
and secondary school teachers to teach math in a stunningly captivating way. 
It's like a high speed socratic method, like philosophers on adrenaline.  
I had the opportunity to see them hold the attention of a classroom full of 
fourth graders, to most of whom english was a second language.  I, as 
one who suffered enough bad teaching to merit a B.S. in Math, was delightfully
amazed.  It was a year ago that I saw this group, and now I'd like to contact
them again.  Does anyone know how I might find them?
