A uniquely integrated Partnership between Florida Atlantic University and The Broward County School District, the nation's fifth largest fully-accredited school district, proposes an Institute for Standards Mapped Graduate Education and Mentoring for Middle Grade Math Teachers for a 5 year period. The partnership builds upon a highly successful working relationship and existing institutional cooperation. The dedicated team of researchers, administrators, and teachers provides a strong foundation for the success of the new program. The Institute creates and delivers a unique curriculum for graduate-level middle grade teacher education as an extension of the MST (Master in Science in Teaching) degree program of the FAU Dept. of Mathematical Sciences. Ongoing development of the multidisciplinary curriculum by faculty and teacher leaders is based on a new concept mapping approach and includes technology and science integration. Major components of the program include a sequence of special evening MST classes for teachers presented in Broward County, intensive Summer Institutes with Student Camp, Biannual weekend Pedagogy Conferences and Follow-Up Meetings, and an online community. The program significantly raises the performance of participating teachers and correspondingly the standardized test scores of their students.Over its duration the Institute creates a hierarchical community of teacher leaders andmentors including more than 50% of all middle grade math teachers with over 20% receiving advanced graduate credit. The testing ground is nearly 500 middle grade mathematics classrooms in Broward County.The intellectual merit lies in the ambitious goal of the proposal to eliminate the many crucial gaps in content and pedagogy between the university-level approach to a teacher's math and science preparation and the daily requirements of a diverse standards-driven classroom. Intellectual content advancement of the teachers is integrated and mapped to curriculum standards and their classroom realization and driven by the content and pedagogy of the Florida Sunshine State Standards and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards.The broader impacts of a successful Institute are a viable model for institutional change and standards mapped graduate education for all science and math teachers: enhanced levels of teacher intellectual achievement in classes relevant to their classrooms, teacher appreciation of higher level multidisciplinary connections and technology enrichments, and university faculty understanding and awareness of district standards and pedagogy.

佛罗里达大西洋大学和布劳沃德县学区（全国第五大完全认可的学区）之间建立了一项独特的综合合作伙伴关系，提议为中学数学教师建立一个为期5年的标准测绘研究生教育和指导研究所。这一伙伴关系建立在非常成功的工作关系和现有机构合作的基础上。由研究人员、管理人员和教师组成的专业团队为新项目的成功奠定了坚实的基础。该学院为研究生水平的中级教师教育创建并提供独特的课程，作为FAU数学科学系MST（教学科学硕士）学位课程的延伸。教师和教师领导正在进行的多学科课程开发是基于一种新的概念映射方法，包括技术和科学的整合。该计划的主要组成部分包括在布劳沃德县为教师举办的一系列特别的夜间MST课程，学生夏令营的强化暑期学院，每两年一次的周末教育学会议和后续会议，以及一个在线社区。该项目显著提高了参与教师的表现，并相应地提高了学生的标准化考试成绩。在此期间，该研究所创建了一个由教师领导和导师组成的分层社区，其中包括超过50%的中级数学教师，超过20%的教师获得了高级研究生学分。测试场地是布劳沃德县近500个中学数学教室。该提案的智力价值在于其雄心勃勃的目标，即消除教师数学和科学准备的大学水平方法与多样化标准驱动的课堂的日常要求之间在内容和教学方法上的许多关键差距。教师的智力内容进步被整合并映射到课程标准和课堂实现中，并受到佛罗里达阳光州标准和全国数学教师委员会标准的内容和教学法的推动。一个成功的研究所的更广泛的影响是一个可行的模式，为所有科学和数学教师的制度变革和标准绘制研究生教育：提高教师在与其课堂相关的课堂上的智力成就水平，教师对更高水平的多学科联系和技术丰富的欣赏，以及大学教师对地区标准和教学法的理解和认识。
