Mathematical Sciences Sequential Summer Institute for High School Mathematics Teachers

摘要 ESI 93-53513 Christian Hirsch 西密歇根大学 密歇根州卡拉马祖 数学科学连续暑期研究所高中数学教师 这个为期3年的硕士学位课程为30名准备充分的高中教师（全州范围内选择）建立在一个当前的，国家支持的项目：使数学对所有人开放（MMAA）。 该计划包括3个连续的夏季数学课程，如：离散数学，统计和概率，动力系统，变换几何，矩阵代数等。 该计划的所有课程强调：应用和数学建模，计算机和图形计算器的使用，需要合作小组努力的长期项目，以及关于数学的写作。 为了补充连续的暑期课程，在3个学年的每一个学年，参与者参加一个额外的课程，包括2个数学教育课程，重点是课程问题;教学法;评估;和教师作为一个深思熟虑的实践者，研究者和导师。 这些为期一年的课程包括6个为期2天的校园会议和工作人员现场访问每个partcipant的学校，但更频繁的参与者和工作人员之间的互动将由MichNet促进。 项目后评估研究将记录参与者的专业活动和他们所承担的领导角色。 费用分摊占NSF捐款的23%。

ABSTRACT ESI 93-53513 Christian Hirsch Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, MI Mathematical Sciences Sequential Summer Institute for High School Mathematics Teachers This 3-year master's degree program for 30 well-prepared high school teachers (selected state-wide) builds on a current, state- supported project: Making Mathematics Accessible to All (MMAA). The program includes 3 sequential summers of mathematics courses in such areas as: discrete mathematics, statistics and probability, dynamical systems, transformational geometry, matrix algebra, etc. All courses in the program stress: applications and mathematical modeling, the uses of computers and graphing calculators, long-term projects requiring cooperative group efforts, and writing about mathematics. To complement the sequential summer program, in each of the 3 academic years, participants take an additional course, including 2 mathematics education courses that focus on issues of curriculum; pedagogy; assessment; and the teacher as a thoughtful practioner, researcher, and mentor. These year-long courses include 6 2-day meetings on campus and a staff site-visit to each partcipant's school, but more frequent interaction between participants and staff will be faciliatted by MichNet. A post- program evaluation study will document the participants' professional activites and the kinds of leadership roles they assume. Cost-sharing is 23% of the NSF contribution.
