The project "CourseMap: On-line Course to Enhance Precollege Mathematics Teaching" proposes to create and disseminate a new set of on-line teacher development courses to enhance the skills and subject-matter understanding needed in our nation's mathematics classrooms. Over the proposal two-year period the PIs plan to create 8 one-credit-hour graduate courses, four at the middle school level and four at the high school level. Understanding that the distinction between content and methods can be artifical, they intend that all methods courses will reinforce important new content, and similarly, the presentation of content courses will model best pedagogical pratice. Consequently, there will be significant integration of the standards-based content and methodologies across the courses.This proposed project looks at new and emerging technologies to begin to address these concerns, with a team of some of the most prominent mathematics educators in the country. More specifically, the design and production teams comprise leading mathematics, educators, technology specialists and instructional video specialists.Moreover, Teachers College Columbia will offer the courses for graduate credit, with Lesson Labs to provide an authoring system, and with WebCT to provide expertise in course management and on-line community building, as well as to promote and host the courses. Their goal is to reach the largest possible in-service teacher audience.

“课程地图：增强大学前数学教学的在线课程”项目提议创建和传播一套新的在线教师发展课程，以增强我国数学课堂所需的技能和主题理解。 在提议的两年期内，PI 计划开设 8 门一学分的研究生课程，其中 4 门为初中课程，4 门为高中课程。 他们认识到内容和方法之间的区别可能是人为的，因此他们希望所有方法课程都将强化重要的新内容，同样，内容课程的呈现将塑造最佳教学实践。 因此，整个课程中基于标准的内容和方法将得到显着整合。该拟议项目着眼于新兴技术，以开始解决这些问题，团队由国内一些最著名的数学教育家组成。 更具体地说，设计和制作团队由领先的数学家、教育家、技术专家和教学视频专家组成。此外，哥伦比亚师范学院将提供研究生学分课程，Lesson Labs提供创作系统，WebCT提供课程管理和在线社区建设方面的专业知识，并推广和主办课程。 他们的目标是覆盖尽可能多的在职教师受众。
