Summer Institute for Mathematics Enhancement

密歇根大学为一项为期三年的计划寻求资金，旨在通过加强60名高中数学教师对数学概念和有效教学法的理解，并将这些知识和技能应用于需要补习数学的大学生的辅导计划中，从而提高他们的水平。参与者和即将上大学的学生都将从城市学校中挑选，这些学校有大量数学成绩不佳的学生。每年将有20位教师参加为期四周的暑期工作坊和学年后续活动。讨论的主题包括统计、计算机使用、绘图、相互关联的数学概念、合作学习和激励学生。教师将参与课堂技术的录像带演示，这些演示将成为该计划多媒体文档的一部分，可用于在其他地方复制增强模型。密歇根大学和当地学校的捐款占NSF预算的7%。通过对该项目的详细记录，我们可以了解到，在城市学校中，有大量代表性不足、学习成绩不佳的数学学生，他们的教师获得了成功的师资提升。

The University of Michigan seeks funds for a three-year program to enhance 60 high school mathematics teachers by strengthening their understanding of mathematical concepts and effective pedagogy and by applying this knowledge and skill in a tutorial program for college-bound students in need of remediation in mathematics. Both participants and the college-bound tutees will be selected from among urban- based schools with large numbers of underrepresented and underachieving students in mathematics. Each year, twenty teachers will participate in a four-week summer workshop and academic year follow-up activities. Topics to be addressed include statistics, computer usage, graphing, interrelating mathematical concepts, cooperative learning, and motivating students. The teachers will participate in videotape demonstrations of classroom techniques which will become part of a multimedia documentation of the program which can be used to replicate the enhancement model elsewhere. University of Michigan and local schools' contribution accounts for 7% of the NSF budget. With careful documentation of the project, we can be informed about successful teacher enhancement for teachers in urban-based schools with large numbers of underrepresented and underachieving students of mathematics.
