Noyce at Montclair: Preparing the Effective Elementary Mathematics Teacher

这个名为“诺伊斯蒙特克莱尔：培养有效的小学数学教师”（PE2MT）的项目是一个能力建设项目，旨在增加对数学教学有充分准备的小学教师的数量。它利用了科学与数学学院和教育与人文服务学院教员之间的共享资源和持续合作。一个加强的学位课程，导致文学学士在数学与K-5教学集中正在开发。智力优势：学位课程的增强特点是课程作业和以下内容的整合：(a)对高级内容课程的学术支持，(b)丰富的方法和专业内容课程，(c)早期和持续的实地经验，(d)本科研究经验，以及(e)在职入职支持。这些经验旨在支持职前教师通过一系列具有挑战性的数学课程稳步进步，发展他们的数学教学知识，并告知他们对数学的信念以及了解和教授数学的意义。学生将从大学内部以及在当地社区学院完成副学士学位的学生中招募。广泛影响：该项目正在制定一个计划，使教师不仅能够在高需求的教室中吸引学生并培养他们的STEM兴趣，而且还能够为其他部门，学校和地区提供更多机会，例如指导其他教师，模拟课程，协作规划，进行专业发展，参加会议并在会议上发表演讲，以及为课程，评估或政策的发展做出贡献。为支持该项目而开发的当地基础设施将随后到位，以支持蒙特克莱尔大学其他STEM基础学位课程的发展，并可作为其他学院和大学的典范。为支持和维持该项目而开发的所有项目和课程材料将提供给感兴趣的学院、大学、学区和政策制定者。

The project, Noyce at Montclair: Preparing the Effective Elementary Mathematics Teacher (PE2MT), is a Capacity Building project designed to increase the number of elementary teachers with a strong preparation for teaching mathematics. It draws on shared resources and ongoing collaborations between faculty in the College of Science and Mathematics and the College of Education and Human Services. An enhanced degree program leading to a bachelor of arts in mathematics with a concentration in K-5 teaching is being developed. Intellectual Merit: The enhancing feature of the degree program is an integration of coursework and the following: (a) academic support for advanced content courses, (b) enriched methods and specialized content courses, (c) early and ongoing field experiences, (d) undergraduate research experience, and (e) in-service induction support. These experiences are designed to support pre-service teachers' steady progression through a set of challenging mathematics courses, to develop their mathematical knowledge for teaching, and to inform their beliefs about mathematics and what it means to know and teach it. Students will be recruited from within the university and also from among students completing associates degrees at local community colleges.Broad Impact: This project is developing a program that prepares teachers not only to engage students within high-needs classrooms and cultivate their STEM interests, but also for additional department-, school-, and district-based opportunities such as mentoring other teachers, modeling lessons, collaborative planning, conducting professional development, attending and presenting at conferences, and making contributions to the development of curriculum, assessment, or policy. The local infrastructure being developed to support this program will subsequently be in place to support the development of additional STEM elementary degree programs at Montclair and can serve as a model to other colleges and universities. All program and curricular materials developed to support and sustain this program will be made available to interested colleges, universities, school districts, and policymakers.
