This project aims to serve the national interest by building capacity for a mathematical education of teachers that fosters equitable mathematics teaching. In the past two decades, mathematicians and educators have partnered to improve the quality of mathematics courses for teachers, particularly those offered in departments of mathematics. Many departments now recognize the importance of preparing teachers in the special ways that skillful teaching harnesses mathematics knowledge. Yet recent results suggest that despite overall successes in how well teachers teach and how well students learn, there is more that the mathematics teacher education community needs to do to challenge educational inequities. This conference will convene leaders in mathematics and education across levels. Conference participants will be asked to consider how mathematics courses and sequences can be transformed to develop teachers’ knowledge of the mathematical sciences while also working toward equity. The conference will aim to support program transformation toward equity in the context of evolving mathematics curriculum from kindergarten through college.The goals of the conference will be to: (1) Provide resources to stakeholders to transform the mathematical education of teachers so that teachers can reach more students from historically under-served communities; (2) Articulate principles for the roles of mathematics departments in designing mathematical work for teachers so their future students from historically under-served communities have more opportunity to flourish. To do so, the conference speakers and more than 50 stakeholders, including mathematicians and mathematics teacher educators, will contribute to proposed guidelines for collaborating across different groups to design mathematics courses and sequences of courses that work toward equity in the context of the mathematical education of teachers; and proposed principles and metrics for assessing mathematical and pedagogical practices used in mathematics courses and sequences with an eye on equity. These products will be novel in scope. They will represent a synthesis of expertise and experience across grade bands and stakeholders, and they will focus simultaneously on equity and knowledge in the mathematical sciences. Findings of this conference have the potential to shape updates of guiding documents for the mathematical education of teachers such as those published by the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences and the Mathematical Association of America’s Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics. The NSF IUSE: EDU Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program has also contributed funding to this project.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目旨在通过培养教师的数学教育能力，促进公平的数学教学，为国家利益服务。在过去的二十年里，数学家和教育工作者合作，以提高教师的数学课程，特别是那些在数学系提供的质量。许多部门现在认识到准备教师的特殊方式，熟练的教学利用数学知识的重要性。然而，最近的研究结果表明，尽管在教师教得多好和学生学得多好方面取得了总体成功，但数学教师教育界需要做更多的工作来挑战教育不平等。本次会议将召集各级数学和教育领域的领导者。与会者将被要求考虑如何数学课程和序列可以转换，以发展教师的数学科学知识，同时也努力实现公平。会议的目标是：（1）为利益相关者提供资源，以改变教师的数学教育，使教师能够接触到更多来自历史上服务不足的社区的学生;（2）阐明数学系在为教师设计数学工作中的作用的原则，使他们未来的学生从历史上服务不足的社区有更多的机会蓬勃发展。为此，会议发言人和50多个利益攸关方，包括数学家和数学教师教育工作者，将为不同群体之间的合作提出指导方针，以设计数学课程和课程顺序，努力实现教师数学教育的公平;并提出了评估数学课程和序列中使用的数学和教学实践的原则和指标，着眼于公平。这些产品的范围将是新颖的。它们将代表跨年级和利益相关者的专业知识和经验的综合，它们将同时关注数学科学的公平和知识。本次会议的调查结果有可能塑造教师的数学教育，如那些由数学科学会议委员会和美国数学协会的数学本科课程委员会出版的指导文件的更新。NSF IUSE：EDU计划支持研究和开发项目，以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划也为该项目提供了资金。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
