North Carolina NAEP: Improving Mathematics Content and Methods Courses

数学科学（21）该项目正在加强，调整和实施材料，“从NAEP（国家教育进步评估）学习：教师专业发展”（LFN）在本科数学内容和方法（MC M）课程，为在大学和社区学院任教的小学和中学教师提供。该项目正在帮助中学教师：1）提高他们的数学内容知识; 2）学习如何使用有效的方法来教授数学; 3）了解NAEP的目的和用途;以及4）学习如何使用NAEP来改善他们的教学，以支持所有学生的成就。该项目的智力价值在于它确定了一套示范性的资源，重新利用这些资源与副教师一起使用，以及由此产生的机会，该项目为新手教师提供了第一手学习如何将NAEP的研究结果，以改善自己的教学。该项目更广泛的影响体现在它集合了一系列不同的机构，这些机构代表了PI州的许多学生在获得认证的道路上取得进展的渠道。此外，这些机构既满足城市人口的需要，也满足大部分农村人口的需要。反过来，这种合作本身具有很好的潜力，可以作为其他类似负责师范教育的机构如何实现其目标的典范。

Mathematical Sciences (21) This project is enhancing, adapting, and implementing the materials, "Learning from NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress): Professional Development for Teachers" (LFN) in undergraduate mathematics content and methods (MC&M) courses for preservice elementary and middle school teachers taught in universities and community colleges. The project is helping preservice teachers: 1) improve their mathematical content knowledge; 2) learn how to use effective methods to teach mathematics; 3) become aware of the purposes for, and uses of, NAEP; and 4) learn how to use NAEP to improve their teaching to support all students' achievement. The intellectual merit of the project lies in its identification of an exemplary set of resources, the repurposing of those resources for use with preservice teachers, and the resulting opportunity the project provides for novice teachers to learn first hand how to incorporate the findings of NAEP to improve their own teaching. The broader impacts of the project are found in its assemblage of a diverse set of institutions that represent the pipeline through which many preservice students in the PI's state progress on their way to certification. Moreover, these institutions serve the needs of both an urban and a largely rural population. In turn this collaboration itself holds excellent potential to serve as a model for how other institutions similarly charged with responsibility for preservice teacher education may accomplish their goals.
