This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(Public Law 111-5).The University of Puerto Rico in Rio Piedras (UPRRP), in collaboration with the University of Puerto Rico in Cayey, the Puerto Rico Department of Education (PRDE) and the Puerto Rico Community Foundation, a non-profit organization, is certifying ten 7-12th grade mathematics teachers, teaching in high-need school districts, as Master Math Teachers (MMT). The Master Math Teachers are being trained to offer professional development to math teachers at the Professional Math and Science Resource Centers (PMSRC) that have been established throughout the Island by the Puerto Rico Math and Science Partnership (PRMSP). The MMTs serve as role models of exemplary mathematics teaching practices, experts in content knowledge, and leaders among their peers to promote improvements in student academic achievement. The PRMMTP consists of two phases: an intensive certification program followed by a period during which the MMTs serve as professional developers completing a total of five years of service. The MMT Certification focuses on the enhancement of mastery of math content and pedagogical skills through an approach that integrates depth of conceptual understanding with content-specific teaching strategies, and mentoring and leadership skills. Disciplinary content focuses on inductive and deductive reasoning, and mathematical models (linear, quadratic and exponential) within a problem solving framework. Learning experiences are modeled in which participants explore, formulate conjectures, deduce, justify and put arguments to the test. A math action research course prepares the teachers to carry out a math action research at the grade level they teach. MMTs must present a portfolio as evidence of their performance based on a set of criteria of teaching effectiveness through student learning outcomes. In the second phase of the PRMMTP the certified MMTs assume leadership roles within high need school districts. Activities include serving as mentors, participating in curriculum development projects, participating in pre-service teacher education, and assisting in the development and implementation of professional development for other teachers, particularly in the PMSRCs. MMTs also participate as Cooperating Teachers during the practicum of 7-12th grade pre-service math teachers and as mentors for beginning teachers. Each participating teacher receives a $10,000 annual salary supplement during the five years of participation in the program teaching in a high-need school district.

该奖项根据 2009 年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法 111-5）提供资金。里约彼德拉斯波多黎各大学 (UPRRP) 与凯伊波多黎各大学、波多黎各教育部 (PRDE) 和非营利组织波多黎各社区基金会合作，正在对 10 名 7-12 年级数学教师进行认证， 作为数学大师 (MMT) 在高需求学区教学。 数学大师正在接受培训，为专业数学和科学资源中心 (PMSRC) 的数学教师提供专业发展，这些中心是由波多黎各数学和科学合作伙伴关系 (PRMSP) 在全岛建立的。 MMT 充当模范数学教学实践的榜样、内容知识专家以及同行中的领导者，以促进学生学业成绩的提高。 PRMMTP 包括两个阶段：强化认证计划，随后 MMT 作为专业开发人员完成总共五年的服务。 MMT 认证的重点是通过将概念理解的深度与特定内容的教学策略以及指导和领导技能相结合的方法来提高对数学内容和教学技能的掌握。学科内容侧重于归纳和演绎推理，以及问题解决框架内的数学模型（线性、二次和指数）。学习经历被建模，参与者探索、提出猜想、推论、证明和检验论点。数学行动研究课程帮助教师做好在他们所教年级进行数学行动研究的准备。 MMT 必须根据一套通过学生学习成果衡量教学效果的标准，提交一份作品集作为其表现的证据。在 PRMMTP 的第二阶段，经过认证的 MMT 在高需求学区中担任领导角色。活动包括担任导师、参与课程开发项目、参加职前教师教育以及协助其他教师（特别是 PMSRC 中的教师）制定和实施专业发展。 MMT 还作为合作教师参与 7-12 年级职前数学教师的实习，并作为新教师的导师。每位参与计划的教师在高需求学区参与该项目教学的五年内将获得 10,000 美元的年薪补助。
