The Allied Delmarva Enhancement Program For Teachers (Math ADEPT)

根据NSF 00-99教师增强指南：提高教师资格的数学和科学课程提交，主要目的是在这39个月的项目期间为中学数学教师开发6门课程。 目标地理区域是特拉华州、马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州的Delmarva地区。 该地区有45所中学，500多名中学教师。 六位教授将各自为中学教师开发一门课程。 该项目有三个目标：（1）为中学教师开发六门学分、相互联系的数学研究生课程，以促进对基础数学的深刻理解;（2）在师范学校实施数学，反思他们的经验，改进他们的教学; 3）减少教师因数学基础不足而产生的焦虑情绪，提高教师的自信心。 这些课程将以渐进的方式提供。

Submitted under the NSF 00-99 guidelines for Teacher Enhancement: Mathematics and Science Courses for Improving Teacher Qualifications, the primary purpose is to develop six courses for middle-school mathematics teachers during this thirty-nine month project. The targeted geographic area is the Delmarva region in the states of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. There are forty-five middle schools in the area and over 500 middle-school teachers. Six professors will each develop a course for middle school teachers. There are three objectives for the project: 1) to develop six credit-bearing, interconnected graduate courses in mathematics for middle-school teachers to foster a deep understanding of fundamental mathematics; 2) to implement the mathematics in the teachers' schools, reflect on their experiences and modify their teaching; 3) to reduce the anxieties which teachers experience due to their insufficient mathematical backgrounds, and thus improve their confidence. The courses will be delivered in an incremental manner.
