Pathway to Mathematics

数学之路（PTM）是南亚拉巴马大学教育、艺术科学和工程学院、主教州立社区学院和移动的县公立学校系统（MCPSS）之间的合作项目。PTM正在解决需要增加数学教师的数量在MCPSS通过使最近的数学和工程学士学位毕业生完成中学数学认证在密集的四个学期的计划，最终与认证和获得硕士学位。新认证的教师（诺伊斯学者），然后参加为期两年的就业后辅导计划，旨在提供毕业后的课堂支持。PTM正在培养总共多达25名数学教师（在五年期间）获得中学数学教师资格。PTM正在通过创建一个本科生管道，使获得南亚拉巴马大学认证的数学教师人数增加一倍，该管道从社区学院开始，最终获得中学数学教育的硕士学位和认证。该项目预计将通过为目前缺乏合格数学教师的高需求学校提供合格数学教师来提高初中和高中学生的成绩。

Pathways to Mathematics (PTM) is a collaborative program between the University of South Alabama Colleges of Education, Arts & Sciences, and Engineering, Bishop State Community College, and the Mobile County Public Schools System (MCPSS). PTM is addressing the need to increase the number of mathematics teachers in the MCPSS through enabling recent mathematics and engineering bachelor degree graduates to complete secondary mathematics certification in an intensive four-semester program that culminates with certification and an earned master's degree. The newly certified teachers (Noyce Scholars) are then participating in a two-year post-employment mentoring program designed to provide classroom support after graduation. PTM is preparing a total of up to 25 mathematics teachers (over the five-year period) certified to teach mathematics at the secondary level. PTM is doubling the number of math teachers who earn their certification from the University of South Alabama by creating a pipeline of undergraduate students beginning at the community college level and culminating in an earned master's degree and certification in secondary mathematics education. This project is expected to enhance middle and high school student achievement by providing certified mathematics teachers in high needs schools that currently lack certified math teachers.
