Mid-Atlantic Center for Mathematics Teaching and Learning

0083429 FEY“大西洋中部数学教学中心”(CMTL)是一个由三所研究型大学和三个学校系统合作伙伴--特拉华大学、马里兰大学、宾夕法尼亚州立大学、特拉华州教育部、乔治王子县(MD)公立学校和匹兹堡(PA)公立学校--的数学和教育系成员领导的联盟。马里兰大学是指定的受资助机构。CMTL通过两项主要活动解决数学教育专业人员的短缺问题：*设计、操作和评估一个创新的博士和博士后教育原型，培养数学师范教育、课程、发展、政策领导和数学教育研究方面的专家。*开发、评估和传播小学、中学和高中职前教师的数学教育和在职教师的专业发展模式。专家培训利用三所参与大学的教职员工和学生的综合资源。提供的课程、研究经验和实地经验远远超出了每个机构单独提供的能力。面向专家的课程有三个主要特点：*数学及其应用方面知识的广度和深度。*数学教学知识。*治学技巧。职前教师的教育和在职教师的专业发展是每所大学及其合作伙伴共同努力的结果。特拉华大学的数学和教育教职员工与特拉华州教育部的工作人员合作，改善中小学教师的职前教育。宾夕法尼亚州立大学的数学家和数学教育工作者与博士生和数学教师领袖合作，为未来的高中教师开发大学水平的课程，重点是中学数学的基本思想。这些课程在匹兹堡公立学校教师的帮助下进行了修订，以适合在职教师的课程。马里兰大学和乔治王子县公立学校合作制定和评估中学教师专业发展模式，以培养以学校为基础的领导者，并评估他们为实现学校教学变革所做的努力。

0083429FEYThe "Mid-Atlantic Center for Mathematics Teaching and Learning" (CMTL) is a consortium led by members of the mathematics and education faculties of three research universities and three school-system partners -- the University of Delaware, the University of Maryland, the Pennsylvania State University, the Delaware State Department of Education, the Prince George's County (MD) Public Schools, and the Pittsburgh (PA) Public Schools. The University of Maryland is the designated grantee institution. The CMTL addresses the shortage of mathematics education professionals through two major sets of activities:*Design, operate, and evaluate an innovative prototype for doctoral and postdoctoral education of specialists in mathematics teacher education, curriculum, development, policy leadership and mathematics education research.*Develop, evaluate, and disseminate models for mathematics education of pre-service teachers and professional development of in-service teachers in elementary, middle, and high schools.The specialists training draws upon the combined resources of faculty and students from the three participating universities. Courses, research experiences and field experiences are provided that go far beyond the capability of each institution separately. The program for specialists is be characterized by three major elements:* Breadth and depth of knowledge in mathematics and its applications. * Knowledge of mathematics teaching and learning.*Scholarly Skills.The education of pre-service teachers and the professional development of in-service teachers are a joint effort involving each of the universities and its school partner. Mathematics and Education faculty at the University of Delaware work with staff from the Delaware State Department of Education to improve pre-service education for elementary and middle school teachers. Mathematicians and mathematics educators at Penn State work with doctoral fellows and mathematics teacher leaders to develop college-level courses focusing on foundational ideas from secondary mathematics for prospective high school teachers. These courses are revised with the help of teachers from the Pittsburgh Public schools to be suitable for courses for in-service teachers. The University of Maryland and Prince George's County Public Schools cooperate to formulate and evaluate a model for professional development for middle school teachers that develops school-based leaders and evaluates their efforts to effect instructional change in schools.
