The Louisiana Mathematics Masters in the Middle (LaM3) project is a collaborative partnership involving the University of Louisiana at Lafayette's College of Education and College of Sciences, Lafayette Parish School System, Iberia Parish School System, Vermilion Parish School System, and the Allen J. Celestine Foundation. Twenty exceptionally qualified mathematics teachers recruited from the three partner school districts are completing graduate coursework leading to the Louisiana Elementary Mathematics Specialist Certification, which signifies the ability to provide instructional leadership in mathematics. This Master Teacher Fellowship project is anchored in intensive content and pedagogical graduate courses and in engaging practicum that allows the participants to maximize their pedagogical potential. An objective of the project is to leverage the knowledge and skills of this talented mathematics teaching corps to foster, nurture, and unearth the hidden or unmet potential in students who are often underexposed to high-quality mathematics teaching. The project is 1) studying the effects of further strengthening mathematical content and pedagogical knowledge of exceptional mathematics teachers in Louisiana and 2) examining the extent to which the participants can accelerate the mathematical savvy and proficiency of students who possess hidden or unmet potential. The Master Teachers are establishing professional learning communities in their schools and mentoring preservice students who are preparing to become middle school mathematics teachers. The project further attempts to accentuate the value of LaM3 participants by chronicling changes in their peers' pedagogical practices that are attributable to participants' instructional leadership and describing empirical accounts of pre-service teachers' seminal experiences under the mentorship of LaM3 participants.

路易斯安那州中部（LAM3）项目的路易斯安那州数学硕士是一家合作伙伴关系，涉及拉斐特教育学院路易斯安那大学，拉斐特教区学校系统，伊比利亚教区学校系统，Vermilion Parish School School System和Allen J. Celestine Foundation。从三个合作伙伴学区招募的二十名具有非凡资格的数学教师正在完成研究生课程，从而获得了路易斯安那州基础数学专家认证，这意味着能够在数学方面提供教学领导才能。 这个大师级教师奖学金项目以密集的内容和教学研究生课程为基础，并从事实践活动，使参与者能够最大程度地发挥其教学潜力。 该项目的一个目的是利用这种才华横溢的数学教学兵团的知识和技能来培养，培育和发掘经常不受高质量数学教学的学生的隐藏或未达到的潜力。 该项目是1）研究路易斯安那州特殊数学教师的进一步加强数学内容和教学知识的影响，以及2）研究参与者可以在多大程度上加速具有隐藏或未充分潜力的学生的数学精通和熟练程度。 大师教师正在他们的学校建立专业的学习社区，并指导准备成为中学数学老师的职前学生。 该项目进一步试图通过记录其同龄人的教学实践的变化来突出LAM3参与者的价值，这些实践归因于参与者的教学领导，并描述了在LAM3参与者的指导下对服务前教师的精神分子经验的经验记载。
