Leadership in Middle Grade Mathematics: A Teacher - Enhancement Program

霍夫斯特拉大学为纽约市-长岛大都会区50名中学教师提供了一个为期四年的数学内容和教学法课程。该项目在四个夏季提供协调的数学课程，并在其间的学年提供额外课程和其他后续和领导活动。该项目旨在允许准备不足的中学教师从第二学年开始参与该项目。有效教学方法的建模将是所有课程的一个特点，技术的整合使用也是如此。参与者将获得资源材料和计算机软件，在他们自己的教室中使用。霍夫斯特拉大学和参与的学区将提供约33%的费用分摊预算。

Abstract Hofstra University is offering a four-year program in mathematics content and pedagogy for 50 middle school teachers in the New York City - Long Island metropolitan area. The project offers a coordinated collection of mathematics courses over four summers and additional courses and other follow-up and leadership activities during the intervening academic years. The project is designed to allow less well-prepared middle school teachers to enter the project starting in the second academic year. Modeling of effective teaching methods will be a feature of all courses, as will the integration of the use of technology. Participants will receive resource materials and computer software to use in their own classrooms. Hofstra University and participating school districts will provide cost sharing of approximately 33% of the requested budget.
