Training K-4 Mathematics Specialists in the Commonwealth of Kentucky

这个为期三年的项目旨在发展肯塔基州K-4数学专家的全州网络。将在数感、几何、测量和统计领域举办一系列四次在职讨论会，并进行实地测试。这些讨论会的设计将符合全国数学标准教师委员会的设想，并将广泛传播。由大学教师、学校主管和K-4数学教师组成的地区团队将开发和试用这些材料。这些团队还将在当地的支持下在其所在地区开展在职活动，目的是在全州培养240名数学专家，使用项目材料开展学校级的在职活动。评估部分侧重于教师信念和课堂实践因参与项目而产生的变化。肯塔基州的所有八所州立大学都参与了这个项目。费用分担将由肯塔基大学和当地学校提供，占NSF奖金的38%。

This three-year project is designed to develop a statewide network of K-4 mathematics specialists in Kentucky. A series of four extended in-service seminars in the areas of number sense, geometry, measurement, and statistics, will be developed and field tested. The seminars will be designed to be consistent with the vision of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards, and will be disseminated widely. Regional teams of university faculty, school supervisors, and K-4 teachers of mathematics will develop and pilot the materials. These teams will also initiate inservice activities in their region with local support, with the intention being to prepare 240 mathematics specialists throughout the state to conduct school-level inservice using the project materials. The evaluation component focuses on changes in teacher beliefs and classroom practice resulting from project participation. All eight state universities in Kentucky are participating in the project. Cost sharing will be provided by the University of Kentucky and local schools as 38% of the NSF award.
