POWRE: Improving Mathematics Education for Pre-Sservice Teachers

这个POWRE项目支持职业生涯的变化，这将使PI承担在她的机构教师准备的领导作用。 加州州立大学北岭分校是洛杉矶地区的一所大型城市大学，大约有1400名学生主修通识教育预科课程。 他们中的大多数将成为小学教师。 PI一直积极参与教师培训，现在正在这一领域做出重大的职业承诺。 该项目包括 * 制定一个“混合计划”，在九个学期后提供教学证书;* 大力参与在职教师培训计划;* 为小学教师举办强化暑期学校课程，以提高基本的数学和科学技能;以及 * 为职前教师制定一门数学方法课程，与基本的学科课程同时进行。

This POWRE project supports a career change that will enable the PI to undertake a leadership role in teacher preparation at her institution. California State University, Northridge is a large urban university in the Los Angeles area with roughly 1400 students majoring in the Liberal Studies Pre-Credential Option. Most of these will become elementary school teachers. The PI has been active in teacher preparation and now is making a major career commitment in that area. This project includes* work developing a "Blended Program" that offers a teaching credential after nine semesters;* significant participation in the in-service teacher training program;* running intensive summer school programs for elementary school teachers to improve basic math and science skills; and* development of a math methods course to be run in tandem with the basic subject matter courses for pre-service teachers.
