Attracting Minorities into Teaching Mathematics

美国数学协会寻求资金， 为期一年的项目，旨在调查 为少数民族人口培养师资。 的 该项目有三个主要方面： I. 将使用收集的数据进行的研究 向全国的数学界宣传 关于少数民族进入数学教学， 第二级。 二. 一个工作会议，将带来一个小组， 专家们聚集在一起， 问题和目前的论文，其中功能模型程序 为少数民族提供教育。 论文将被修改 会议结束后，并提交给MAA委员会， 一个精选小组的成员。 三. 这个由杰出教育家组成的蓝带小组， 各相关领域的领导人将召开会议， 与所有其他项目参与者一起， 论文和研究结果。 千年评估工作的最终产品将是一份文件， 包括该研究和该项目产生的论文 参与者 该文件将分发给MAA 会员资格 MAA费用分摊约为申请金额的3% 间接费用率的减少， 34%到30%。 授予该项目的资金是修订后的数额， 九万一千三百六十二美元

The Mathematical Association of America seeks funding for a one year project which is aimed at investigating the state of teacher preparation with regard to minority populations. The project has three major facets: i. A study which will be conducted with data collected throughout the nation to inform the mathematics community about minorities going into the teaching of mathematics at the secondary level. ii. A working conference which will bring a small group of experts together to address different components of the problems and to present papers which feature model programs for minority preservice education. Papers will be revised after the conference, and submitted to MAA committees and to members of a select panel. iii. This Blue Ribbon panel of distinguished educators and leaders in various related areas will hold a conference, together with all other project participants, and will react to the papers and the results of the study. The end-product of the MAA effort will be a document which includes the study and the papers produced by the project participants. The document will be disseminated to the MAA membership. MAA cost sharing of approximately 3% of the requested amount is shown by their reduction of the indirect cost rate from 34% to 30%. The funds awarded to this project is the revised amount, $91,362.
