Pathway to Mathematics

数学之路（PTM）是南阿拉巴马大学教育学院、艺术与科学学院、工程学院、毕晓普州立社区学院和莫比尔县公立学校系统（MCPSS）之间的合作项目。PTM正在解决MCPSS中增加数学教师数量的需求，通过使最近的数学和工程学士学位毕业生在一个密集的四学期课程中完成二级数学认证，最终获得认证和硕士学位。新认证的教师（诺伊斯学者）随后将参加一个为期两年的就业后辅导项目，该项目旨在为毕业后提供课堂支持。PTM正在准备总共多达25名（在五年期间）获得中学数学教学资格的数学教师。PTM通过建立一个从社区大学开始到获得中学数学教育硕士学位和证书的本科学生管道，将从南阿拉巴马大学获得证书的数学教师数量增加了一倍。该项目旨在为目前缺乏数学教师的高需求学校提供合格的数学教师，从而提高初高中学生的成绩。

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.
