Michigan State Mathematics Project for Teachers of Minority Youth

密歇根州立大学寻求为期三年的资金 计划，以促进教学的改善 少数民族中学生的数学。 这将 通过为期三周的夏季研讨会， 中学数学专业发展团队 教师和支持人员（中学或大学 数学教师、主管或行政人员）， 密歇根州的11个城市学区。 电流 示范材料在教学中的代数，几何和 可视化，概率和统计，以及贡献 非裔美国人对数学的理解 参与者可以获得六个小时的研究生学分， 夏季工作坊学年后续活动将 包括两次为期一天会议和两次工作人员访问 每个学区的成员。 每年45名中学数学教师和支持 人们将得到加强，并有望返回他们的 学校作为教师领导，以提高额外的225 第二波教师 在所有810名教师和支持 人的一生中， 项目 密歇根州立大学的费用分摊将 占NSF预算的13%。 接触、教育和留住少数民族学生 数学是一个NSF，实际上是一个国家的目标， 最高优先级这个项目有潜力， 为服务中的交付提供原型模型 一个能使教师实现这一目标的系统。

Michigan State University seeks funds for a three-year program to promote the improvement of the teaching of mathematics to middle school minority students. This will be accomplished through a three-week summer workshop for Professional Development Teams of middle school mathematics teachers and support people (secondary or college mathematics teachers, supervisors or administrators) from eleven urban school districts in Michigan. Current exemplary materials in the teaching of algebra, geometry and visualization, probability and statistics, and contributions of African-Americans to mathematics will be used. Participants my earn six hours of graduate credit for the summer workshop. School year follow-up activities will include two, one-day conferences and two visits by staff members to each of the school districts. Each year 45 middle school mathematics teachers and support people will be enhanced and expected to return to their schools as teacher-leaders to enhance an additional 225 second-wave teachers. In all 810 teachers and support people should be enhanced during the lifetime of the project. Michigan State University's cost-sharing will account for 13% of the NSF budget. Reaching, teaching and retaining minority students in mathematics is an NSF and indeed a national goal of the highest priority. This project has the potential of providing a prototypic model for an in-service delivery system capable of empowering teachers to achieve this goal.
