Project Teacher Enrichment and Reinforcement in Mathematics (TERM)

这个为期两年的项目通过提供一个密集的夏季研讨会和学年跟进，解决了40名孟菲斯中学和高中少数民族学生的数学和计算机科学需求。Le Moyne-Owen是一所传统的黑人学院，它将与孟菲斯城市数学合作组织（由福特基金会资助）合作开展这个项目。目标包括加强数学背景，提高教学技能，促进教师与大学教员之间的合作，并向教师介绍微型计算机和程序设计。在为期五周的工作坊中，教师将学习逻辑、集合、函数优化、归纳法和组合学、概率论、矩阵、线性规划、离散数学和计算机。教学策略包括解决问题、发展数学模型和教师演讲。教师的课程作业将获得三个学分。本学年的后续工作包括两次小型会议，供所有参与者参加，并由教职员到教师的课堂进行实地考察。

This two year project addresses the mathematical and computer science needs of 40 Memphis middle and high school teachers of minority students by providing an intense summer workshop with academic year follow-up. Le Moyne-Owen, a traditionally Black college, will run this project with the cooperation of the Memphis Urban Mathematics Collaborative (funded by the Ford Foundation). The objectives include strengthening the mathematics background, improving teaching skills, fostering cooperation between teachers and college faculty, and introducing teachers to the microcomputer and programming. During the five week workshop the teachers will study logic, sets, function optimization, induction and combinatortics, probability, matrices, linear programming, discrete mathematics and computers. The teaching strategies include problem solving, development of mathematical models and teacher presentations. Teachers will earn three credits for the course work. The academic year follow-up includes two mini- conferences for all participants and on-site visits by the staff to the teachers' classes.
