Training Elementary Teachers for Certification as Mathematics Specialists

犹他州教育委员会已经批准了小学数学专家的执照，犹他州的每个机构都有机会制定并提交认证计划供批准。韦伯州立大学寻求资金来开发这个新项目，该项目将以国家数学教师委员会的课程和评估标准以及NCTM数学教学专业标准中规定的指导方针为基础。该计划将由数学系与教育学院合作开发，将包括八门新课程：几何、直观微积分、概率与统计、离散数学、技术应用、数论、问题解决和一个高级项目。技术将被整合到整个项目中，并在课程中建模。一个由该州所有教师培训项目成员组成的咨询小组将与韦伯州立大学合作规划、实施和传播。全国公认的数学教育家也将担任顾问和顾问。韦伯州立大学的捐款占NSF请求资金的26%。

The Utah State Board of Education has approved the licensing of elementary mathematics specialists and each institution in the state of Utah has been given the opportunity to develop and submit a certification program for approval. Weber State University seeks funds to develop this new program which will have as its foundation the guidelines set forth in the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and in the NCTM Professional Standards for the Teaching of Mathematics. The program will be developed in the mathematics department in collaboration with the College of Education, and will include eight new courses: geometry, intuitive calculus, probability and statistics, discrete mathematics, the use of technology, number theory, problem solving, and a senior project. Technology will be integrated throughout the program and modeled in the courses. An advisory group with members from all the teacher preparation programs in the state will work with Weber State University in the planning, implementation and dissemination. Nationally recognized mathematics educator will serve as consultants and advisors as well. The contribution of Weber State University accounts for 26% of the funds requested from NSF.
