Secondary School Teachers as Clinical Faculty: Bringing theResources of a Successful Teacher Professional Network to a Mathematics Preparation Program

这个弗吉尼亚联邦大学（VCU）项目的目标是利用临床教师的支持来确保所有新教师将继续学习新的数学，将自己视为更广泛的数学社区的成员，与他人分享他们关于数学教学的想法和经验，并成为数学教育专业人员。与这些新教师一起工作的临床教师将是来自里士满地区学校系统的20名模范教师的骨干。他们将通过在大里士满地区教师专业网络的活动展示他们的领导能力。作为该网络的学院合作活动的延伸，优秀的数学教师团队将准备在VCU数学教师培养计划的各个方面发挥持续的作用。他们将与VCU的数学和数学教育教师合作，更新教师准备计划的结构，教授数学和数学教育课程的组成部分，为新教师树立榜样，并与实习教师合作。该计划的结果将被评估和分析，以作为提高教师专业的国家模式的潜在有效性。该项目的费用分摊将是国家科学基金会部分的58%。

The goal of this Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) project is to use Clinical Faculty support to ensure that all new teachers will continue to learn new mathematics, view themselves as members of the broader mathematics community, share with others their ideas and experiences concerning the teaching of mathematics and become mathematics education professionals. The Clinical Faculty who will work with these new teachers will be a cadre of twenty exemplary teachers from the Richmond area school systems. They will have demonstrated leadership through their activities in the Greater Richmond Area Teacher Professional Network. As an extension of the collegial, collaborative activities of this network, the group of outstanding mathematics teachers will be prepared to play an ongoing role in all aspects of VCU's Mathematics Teacher Preparation Program. They will work with VCU's mathematics and mathematics education faculty in updating the structure of the teacher preparation program, teach components of mathematics and mathematics education courses, serve as role models for new teachers, and work with student teachers. The outcome of the program will be evaluated and analyzed for potential effectiveness as a national model for enhancing the teaching profession. The cost sharing for the project will be fifty-eight percent of the National Science Foundation portion.
