Leadership Program in Discrete Mathematics

罗格斯大学将开展一项为期三年的计划，培养一支在离散数学及其应用方面选定主题的中学教师领导干部队伍。该项目包括为每个参与者举办为期四周的夏季讲习班，其中两周是关于内容的，两周是关于方法的。在实施、后续行动并与同事分享后，将选出带头教师参加下一次讲习班和外联活动。该提案基于一个成功的试点项目，参与者将从罗格斯大学200英里范围内的一个大区域中挑选出来，以扩大宣传范围。这个项目是离散数学和理论计算机科学中心(DIMACS)被国家科学基金会指定为科学和技术中心的直接结果。这项研究将由罗格斯大学数学、科学和计算机教育中心(CMSCE)进行。罗格斯大学的捐款相当于国家科学基金会申请的31%。

Rutgers University will conduct a three-year program to develop a leadership cadre of secondary school teachers in selected topics in discrete mathematics and their applications. The project includes a four-week summer workshop for each participant, two weeks of which are on content and two on methodology. After implementation, follow-up, and sharing with colleagues, lead teachers will be selected for the next workshops and for outreach. The proposal is based on a successful pilot project, and participants will be selected from a large region, within 200 miles of Rutgers University, to increase the outreach. This program is a direct result of the designation of the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS) as a Science and Technology Center by the National Science Foundation. It will be conducted by the Rutgers University Center for Mathematics, Science and Computer Education (CMSCE). Rutgers University has contributed an amount equal to 31% of the National Science Foundation request.
