Preparation of Elementary Mathematics Teachers

就像一个任课教师的准备工作一样， 影响学校学生的成绩/态度 教室，所以可以说同样的准备， 大学数学教育家。 POEMT是一个为期两年的计划 开发一个小学教师培训模型， 程序. 它为教授和学者提供了一个机会， 参加两个夏季会议和相应的学术 多年来一直在遵循NCTM标准。 三周的强化 夏季“课程”在金融情报室，包括一个星期的实际 每年安排临床经验随访 每学年的活动。 预计与会者将 每个人都能分享他们参与项目的成果， 在学年结束后通过试验活动， 修改他们的课程大纲。 40名参与者将 从全国各地精心挑选。 一位杰出 受人尊敬的数学教育工作者，包括目前 NCTM主席，致力于领导教学会议 和访问网站。 以下国家也承诺提供资金支持： 三角洲航空公司，Cuisenaire公司和朗文出版社。 该提案有力地证明了提供 为教授提供提升知识和 指导兼职教师结构调整的技能， 在很长一段时间内与同事互动。

Just as the preparedness of a classroom teacher directly effects the achievement/attitude of students in the school classroom, so can the same be said for the preparedness of university mathematics educators. POEMT is a two-year program to develop a model preservice elementary teacher preparation program. It offers professors and adjuncts an opportunity to participate in two summer sessions and corresponding academic years emulating the NCTM Standards. Three weeks of intensive summer "coursework" at FIU including one week of actual clinical experiences are scheduled each year with follow-up activities each academic year. Participants will be expected to deliver the fruits of their program participation each following academic year through trialling activities and revising their pragram/syllabus. Forty participants will be carefully selected from across the country. An outstanding staff of respected mathematics educators, including current NCTM President, has committed to lead instructional sessions and visit sites. Funding support has also been pledged by Delta Airlines, Cuisenaire Company, and Longman Publishers. The proposal makes a strong case for the need to provide opportunities for professors to upgrade their knowledge and skills to guide the restructuring of preservice teachers, and to interact with colleagues over extended periods of time.
