This project builds on a very successful program of summer institutes for mathematics teachers, graduate students and university faculty at the Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI) run by the Institute for Advanced Study and supported in part by Boston University and EDC. In this project they will produce, publish and disseminate a strong mathematics content curriculum for in-service secondary mathematics teachers and prepare a group of specialized teacher-leaders to deliver this curriculum across the country. The program works on the theory that an immersion experience moves teachers to a higher order of understanding; formality and precision are crucial in mathematics; and teachers thrive in a mathematical community. Important components of this project are that expert teachers will ensure that the mathematics is relevant to the professional lives of secondary teachers and mathematicians will be core members of the development and review team. The materials produced for these courses contain ingredients for a problem-driven curriculum connecting advanced mathematical knowledge with the mathematics used by secondary teachers, in and out of their classrooms. Mathematics courses that connect upper-division university mathematics to secondary mathematics are not typically available to teachers. This program uses very well respected mathematics and mathematics educators to prepare content rich materials that will be tested at a prominent facility with teachers. They will also be working with presenters at this time to prepare facilitators guides for the materials. The developers currently have five three-week courses. The proposal will allow them to 1) add exposition and detailed commentary for facilitators; 2) add courses where there may be gaps in the mathematical topics and 3) prepare teachers who will work with mathematicians to develop and teach the materials to their colleagues using the PCMI professional development approach.

该项目建立在帕克城数学研究所 (PCMI) 为数学教师、研究生和大学教师举办的非常成功的暑期学院项目的基础上，该项目由高等研究院运营，并得到波士顿大学和 EDC 的部分支持。 在这个项目中，他们将为在职中学数学教师制作、出版和传播强大的数学内容课程，并准备一批专业的教师领导者在全国范围内教授该课程。 该项目的理论基础是，沉浸式体验可以让教师获得更高层次的理解；形式和精确性在数学中至关重要；教师在数学社区中茁壮成长。 该项目的重要组成部分是专家教师将确保数学与中学教师的职业生活相关，并且数学家将成为开发和审查团队的核心成员。 为这些课程制作的材料包含问题驱动课程的成分，将高级数学知识与中学教师在课堂内外使用的数学联系起来。 将大学高年级数学与中学数学联系起来的数学课程通常不向教师开放。 该计划使用备受尊敬的数学和数学教育家来准备内容丰富的材料，这些材料将在著名的设施中与教师一起进行测试。 他们此时还将与演示者合作，准备材料的协调员指南。 开发人员目前有五个为期三周的课程。 该提案将允许他们 1）为协调员添加说明和详细评论； 2) 在数学主题中可能存在空白的地方添加课程，以及 3) 准备与数学家合作使用 PCMI 专业发展方法向同事开发和教授材料的教师。
