Developing Middle School Mathematics Professionals

这个为期两年的项目是针对中学数学教师的，包括为期四周的暑期学习、课堂跟踪和学年在职会议。教师将使用中学数学项目的材料，参加开放式问题解决研讨会，并学习概率和统计。该项目包括教师有机会与中学生进行暑期示范课，参加“学者社区”，并参与领导活动。项目人员将参与课堂跟进和支持。当地学区、南伊利诺伊大学和伊利诺斯高等教育委员会分担的费用相当于国家科学基金会奖金的26%。

This two-year project is directed toward middle school mathematics teachers and includes four-week summer institutes, classroom followup, and academic year inservice meetings. Teachers will work with the Middle School Mathematics Project materials, participate in an open-ended problem solving seminar, and study probability and statistics. The project includes an opportunity for teachers to conduct summer demonstration classes with middle school students, to participate in a "Community of Scholars", and to become involved in leadership activities. Project staff will be involved in classroom followup and support. Cost sharing from local school districts, Southern Illinois University, and the Illinois Board of Higher Education equals 26% of the NSF award.
