The Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications, COMAP, requests funding for a one-year planning grant to develop a large- scale, long term project which addresses the need to carefully research, and plan comprehensive systemic changes in all aspects of the mathematics preparation of preservice elementary teachers, in particular the mathematics content courses and faculty enhancement. The proposal will also begin implementation of key goals of the long term plan. This proposal is a direct result and extension of two previously funded Teacher Preparation Projects, TPE 90-54620, and TPE 91-54518. The former was a conference (3 meetings) of key leaders in mathematics, mathematics education, and education, including professors, teachers, supervisors, state supervisors, and researchers. One outcome of the conference was the urgent need to learn more about the current state of the mathematics preparation of teachers; this led to the second funded project to conduct a survey and research this question. With Exxon Foundation funding, another meeting was held with a subset of the original participants to look at the need to completely overhaul and redesign the elementary mathematics curriculum for elementary teachers with all of its ramifications, in particular the role and support of the mathematics community and mathematics departments. The proposers request funds for a project to define and develop specific mathematics content courses for preservice elementary teachers. These courses are based on the framework defined by the MAA Call For Change and the NCTM reform documents, in particular the Professional Teaching Standards and the Addenda Project to the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards. The project will address four major goals and plan the long range strategies to address these goals: development of a philosophical position on the nature of learning/teaching mathematics and the development of content courses for the mathematics preparation of elementary teachers based on previously developed standards; identification and, if necessary, planning the production of materials which exemplify the philosophy and standards; development of large-scale, multi-site mathematics college/faculty enhancement projects; and enlisting support for the project from professional organizations, state certifying agencies, supervisors at all levels, school districts, and specially mathematics departments. This project has been endorsed by the president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and by the Exxon Foundation which has co-funded the two previous grants. The Advisory Board is representative of the major mathematics organizations: The Mathematical Association of America, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and the American Mathematical Society. COMAP will cost-share the project by providing support equivalent to 32% of the requested NSF funding.

数学及其应用联盟，COMAP， 申请一年规划补助金，以制定一个大的- 规模，长期项目，解决需要仔细 研究，并计划全面的系统性变革， 小学教师的数学准备， 特别是数学内容的课程和教师的提高。 该提案还将开始实施《2010 - 2011年世界粮食计划署行动纲领》的关键目标。 长期计划。 这一建议是一个直接的结果和延伸， 两个以前资助的教师准备项目，TPE 90-54620， 和TPE 91-54518。 前者是一个会议（3次会议）的关键 数学、数学教育和教育领域的领导者， 包括教授、教师、监督员、州监督员， 研究人员 会议的一项成果是迫切需要 了解更多关于数学准备的当前状态 这导致了第二个资助项目， 对这一问题进行调查研究。 在埃克森基金会的资助下， 另一次会议是与最初参与者的子集举行的 看看是否有必要彻底改革和重新设计 小学数学课程的小学教师与所有 的作用和支持 数学社区和数学系。 提案人要求为一个项目提供资金， 小学数学课程 教师 这些课程是基于由 MAA呼吁变革和NCTM改革文件，特别是 专业教学标准和增编项目 课程和评价标准。 该项目将解决四个 主要目标，并计划长期战略，以解决这些问题 目标：就人权的性质 学/教数学和内容的发展 小学教师数学准备课程 根据以前制定的标准;识别，如果 必要时，计划生产的材料， 理念和标准;发展大规模、多地点 数学学院/教师增强项目;以及 专业组织、国家对项目的支持 认证机构，各级监管机构，学区， 尤其是数学系。 这个项目已经 得到全国教师理事会主席的认可 数学和埃克森基金会共同资助了这两个 以前的赠款。 咨询委员会代表各主要 数学组织：美国数学协会 美国数学教师全国理事会和 美国数学学会。 COMAP将通过提供同等支助分担项目费用 占到了NSF资金的32%。
