GK-12 Program in Mathematics at the University of Washington

该项目利用华盛顿大学的几个K-12推广计划，帮助增加大学预科数学教师和他们的学生对主题的理解，同时增加研究员对教和学的理解。文理学院作为教授数学和科学的系的所在地，有着悠久的职前和在职教师培训历史。该提案寻求将12名研究生(在整个大学范围内招聘)安排为当地小学和初中数学班的GK-12研究员。该项目将包括选择、初步准备、深入准备、持续指导和评估的协调计划。华盛顿大学总统基金和国家科学基金会支持的一个为期两年的试点项目已经证明了可行性。研究员将接受由Lillian McDermott和物理教育小组提供的基于探究的数学教学方法的初步准备，然后由扩大数学学习者社区局部系统变化项目提供的开发数学思想会议来分析学生的思维。GK-12项目扩大了与已经参与系统改革努力的地方学区的伙伴关系，并加强了正在进行的帮助教师实施符合国家和国家标准的课程的努力。

This project leverages several K-12 outreach programs at the University of Washington to help increase the subject-matter understanding of precollege mathematics teachers and their students while increasing the Fellows' understanding of teaching and learning. The College of Arts and Sciences, as home of the departments that teach mathematics and the sciences, has a long history of preservice and inservice teacher preparation. The proposal seeks to place 12 graduate students (recruited university wide) as GK-12 Fellows in local elementary and junior high mathematics classes. The project will involve a coordinated program of selection, initial preparation, in-depth preparation, on-going mentoring and assessment. Feasibility has been demonstrated by a two-year pilot project supported by the UW President's Fund and NSF. Fellows will receive initial preparation in instructional methods of inquiry based mathematics by Lillian McDermott and the Physics Education group followed by Developing Mathematical Ideas session to analyze student thinking given by the Expanding a Community of Mathematics Learners local systemic change project. This GK-12 projects extends partnerships with local school districts already involved in systemic change efforts and strengthens on-going attempts to help teachers implement curricula that meet state and national standards.
