This project is supporting two cohorts of outstanding mathematics and science teachers in the San Francisco Bay Area to become Master Teachers. The carefully organized structure of professional and leadership development activities is supporting a total of 30 teachers though a variety of experiences, including becoming a Teacher-in-Residence at UC Berkeley where the Master Teacher Fellows can take advanced courses in their discipline and engage in research on campus in mathematics, science or education. The project is building on the growing program that Cal Teach has created for teacher education of science, engineering and mathematics students at Berkeley, and on the strong partnerships that have been established with local school districts and with local research institutions. The Math for America-Berkeley (MfA-Berkeley) Program, along with Cal Teach, engages faculty from the STEM content areas as well as from the Graduate School of Education. This interdisciplinary approach to teacher preparation and professional support has been shown to be critical in the context of training secondary mathematics and science teachers for our nation's urban schools, where high quality teachers are severely lacking. The professional development, research, educational and leadership opportunities available within the program provide a unique avenue to develop a cadre of true Master Teachers who can lead the next generation of learning in the critical areas of mathematics and science. The program has a focus on teaching in urban schools that are often under-served, and reinforces the beliefs that every student has (1) the capacity to learn both introductory and advanced mathematics and science, (2) the right to a quality education that supports their learning, and (3) the need for literacy in mathematics, science and technology so that they have access to every opportunity that society can provide.

该项目支持两批旧金山湾区优秀的数学和科学教师成为Master teachers。通过精心组织的专业和领导力发展活动结构，共有30名教师获得了各种各样的经历，包括成为加州大学伯克利分校的驻校教师，在那里，硕士教师研究员可以在他们的学科中学习高级课程，并在校园里从事数学、科学或教育方面的研究。该项目是建立在加州大学伯克利分校为科学、工程和数学学生的教师教育而创建的不断壮大的项目基础上的，也是建立在与当地学区和当地研究机构建立的牢固伙伴关系基础上的。美国伯克利数学项目（MfA-Berkeley）与加州大学伯克利分校（Cal Teach）一起，聘请了来自STEM内容领域和教育研究生院的教师。这种跨学科的教师准备和专业支持方法已被证明在为我国城市学校培训中学数学和科学教师的背景下至关重要，因为城市学校严重缺乏高质量的教师。该计划提供的专业发展，研究，教育和领导机会为培养真正的大师教师干部提供了独特的途径，他们可以在数学和科学的关键领域领导下一代的学习。该项目将重点放在服务不足的城市学校的教学上，并强化了这样一种信念：每个学生都有(1)学习入门和高级数学和科学的能力，(2)有权接受支持他们学习的优质教育，以及(3)需要数学、科学和技术素养，以便他们能够获得社会提供的每一个机会。
