High School Teachers Honors Workshop in Integrated Mathemaics

该领导力活动项目将为来自加州圣克拉拉县公立和私立学校的25名模范中学数学教师提供提升和专业发展经验。这个为期两年的项目的总体目标包括更新和深化参与者解决问题的知识，以及对学校数学主题和教学方法的综合方法，参与者和大学数学教师的网络，参与者在其家乡学校进行后续会议和在职讲习班。对荣誉教师参与者进行适当的认可，并在仔细计划的文件、评估和评价工作中对模型方法进行调查。参与者的选择将基于详细的申请，要求教师和学校表达对实施项目重点的承诺。与大学数学家合作，参与者将完成为期16天的夏季研讨会和8个月的为期一天的会议，旨在提高他们对数学主题综合处理的概念理解和承诺，为自己的课程中解决问题的应用制定策略和教学计划。并开发材料和技术用于在职研讨会的展示。他们将获得圣克拉拉大学的研究生学分。在准备由参与者设计和举办的在职讲习班期间，项目工作人员将提供咨询和支持。参与者将在他们的教室和工作室与他们的同龄人一起被访问和观察。仔细记录和分析这些观察和教师报告将为详细的项目评估提供重要的基础。

This Leadership Activities project will provide enhancement and professional development experiences for 25 exemplary secondary school mathematics teachers from Santa Clara County, California public and private schools. The overall goals of the two-year project involve the updating and deepening of the participants' knowledge of problem solving and integrated approaches to school mathematics topics and teaching methodologies, the networking of the participants and university mathematics faculty, the conduct of follow-up sessions and in-service workshops by the participants in their home schools, appropriate recognition for honors teacher participants, and the investigation of the modelistic approach within a carefully planned documentation, assessment and evaluation effort. Selections of participants will be based upon detailed applications requiring expressions of teacher and school commitments to implement project emphases. Working with university mathematicians, the participants will complete a 16-day summer workshop and eight monthly, day-long meetings designed to increase their conceptual understanding of, and commitments to, integrated treatments of mathematical topics, to develop strategies and teachng plans for problem-solving applications in their own curriculum, and to develop materials and techniques for use in their presentation of in-service workshops. They will earn graduate academic credits from the University of Santa Clara. During the preparation of the in-service workshops which the participants will design and conduct, the project staff will be available for consultation and support. Participants will be visited and observed in their classrooms and in their workshops with their peers. Careful documentation and analysis of these observations and of teacher reports will provide a significant basis for a detailed project evaluation.
