Workshops That Improve Undergraduate Teaching of Mathematics

数学科学（21）数学科学在美国军事学院（USMA）和美国空军学院（USAFA）的部门正在建设的年度教师发展研讨会的历史，重点是教学问题，并在同一时间强调边做边学。该项目通过提高全国本科数学课程的卓越教学标准，改善学生的数学课程学习。 这是通过以下方式实现的：1）增加数学教师的数量，他们已经学习和实践了良好的，经过验证的教学方法，并可以在教师发展会议上分享这些想法，2）促进和帮助领导全国范围内的数学教育工作者和管理人员网络，他们致力于促进更好的教学和改善教师教育，连续两年组织为期一周的讲习班，每年为20名数学教育工作者提供机会，使他们的教学效率和领导机构教师发展计划的能力得到实质性的提高。这些教育工作者必须表示有兴趣在他们的学校发起类似的计划。为期一周的研讨会的内容可以被纳入任何学校课程，无论是作为一个完整的连续一周或在全年的不同时间。课程和样本材料提供给参与者在自己的教师发展计划中使用。为研讨会创建的材料，特别是研讨会时间表，课程计划，适用文献的阅读，以及所有可用的讲义，可供研讨会的参与者使用，并将广泛传播，并提供给数学教育工作者，他们对教师发展感兴趣，通过出版物，专业会议上的演讲和小组讨论，以及互联网。

Mathematical Science (21) The Departments of Mathematical Sciences at the United States Military Academy (USMA) and at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) are building on a history of annual teacher faculty development workshops that are focused on pedagogical issues and at the same time emphasizing learning by doing. This project is improving student learning in mathematics courses by raising the standard of teaching excellence in undergraduate mathematics programs nationwide. This is being done through the following: 1) Increasing the number of mathematics faculty who have studied and practiced sound,proven teaching methods and can share these ideas in faculty development sessions, 2) Contributing to promoting and helping lead a nationwide network of mathematics educators and administrators who are committed to promoting better teaching and improved teacher education, and 3) Organizing a one-week workshop for two consecutive years that provides 20 mathematics educators each year with an opportunity to make substantive improvements in the effectiveness of their teaching and in their ability to lead faculty development programs at their institutions. These educators must express an interest in initiating similar programs at their schools. The content of the one week workshops can be incorporated into any school program, either as a full continuous week or at various times throughout the year. Classes and sample materials are provided to participants to utilize in their own faculty development programs. The materials that are created for the workshop, specifically the workshop schedule, lesson plans, readings from applicable literature, and all available handouts, are available to the participants of the workshop and will be broadly disseminated and made available to educators in mathematics, who are interested in faculty development, through publications, presentations and panel discussions at professional meetings, and the internet.
