Summer Institute for Mathematics Enhancement

密歇根大学寻求为一项为期三年的计划提供资金，以加强60名高中数学教师对数学概念和有效教学方法的理解，并将这些知识和技能应用于为需要数学辅导的大学学生提供的辅导计划中。参与者和准备上大学的补习生都将从城市学校中挑选出来，这些学校有大量数学方面的代表不足和表现不佳的学生。每年，20名教师将参加为期四周的暑期工作坊和学年后续活动。讨论的主题包括统计学、计算机使用、图表、相互关联的数学概念、合作学习和激励学生。教师将参与课堂技术的录像带演示，这将成为该计划的多媒体文件的一部分，该文件可用于在其他地方复制增强模式。密歇根大学和当地学校的捐款占NSF预算的7%。通过对该项目的仔细记录，我们可以了解到，在城市学校的教师队伍中，教师得到了成功的提升，这些学校的数学学生人数较少，成绩不佳。

The University of Michigan seeks funds for a three-year program to enhance 60 high school mathematics teachers by strengthening their understanding of mathematical concepts and effective pedagogy and by applying this knowledge and skill in a tutorial program for college-bound students in need of remediation in mathematics. Both participants and the college-bound tutees will be selected from among urban- based schools with large numbers of underrepresented and underachieving students in mathematics. Each year, twenty teachers will participate in a four-week summer workshop and academic year follow-up activities. Topics to be addressed include statistics, computer usage, graphing, interrelating mathematical concepts, cooperative learning, and motivating students. The teachers will participate in videotape demonstrations of classroom techniques which will become part of a multimedia documentation of the program which can be used to replicate the enhancement model elsewhere. University of Michigan and local schools' contribution accounts for 7% of the NSF budget. With careful documentation of the project, we can be informed about successful teacher enhancement for teachers in urban-based schools with large numbers of underrepresented and underachieving students of mathematics.
