Teachers as Leaders: Launching Mathematics Education into the Nineties

爱荷华大学将开展一个为期30个月的项目，培养离散数学、变换几何和矢量几何以及在数学教学中使用技术的骨干骨干教师。总共有60名准备充分的中学数学教师将参加一系列夏季讲习班和后续活动，旨在提供必要的主题内容和领导能力培训，并筛选出最后一批领导教师。这些领导人将回来参加为期两周的关于领导能力的讲习班，并就实施全国数学教师标准委员会进行额外的工作。该项目建立在以前由高级工作人员成功实施的教师提升计划的基础上。该项目包括学习问题的一个重要组成部分，特别是与数学中代表性不足的群体相关的问题。爱荷华大学（University of Iowa）、马哈里希国际大学（Maharishi International University）和参与学校的捐款相当于美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）要求的25%。

The University of Iowa will conduct a thirty-month program to develop a cadre of lead teachers in discrete mathematics, transformational and vector geometry, and the use of technology in teaching mathematics. In all, sixty well prepared secondary mathematics teachers will participate in a series of summer workshop and follow-up activities designed to provide the necessary subject matter content and leadership training and to winnow out the final group of lead teachers. These leaders will return for a two-week workshops on leadership and additional work on implementing the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards. This project builds on a successful Teacher Enhancement program conducted previously by senior staff members. The project includes a strong component on learning issues especially relevant to under- represented groups in mathematics. The University of Iowa, Maharishi International University, and the participants' schools are contributing an amount equal to 25% of the National Science Foundation request.
