Arizona Master Teacher Program for Mathematics: AZ-MTM

数学与教育研究所(IM&Amp；E)、亚利桑那大学(UA)数学系和一个主要利益相关者组成的财团，包括高需求学校和学区、大学部门和项目、当地教育机构、非营利组织和企业，正在计划制定一项硕士教学研究员提案。AZ-MTM联盟正在将广泛的利益攸关方聚集在一起，这些利益攸关方对通过发展教师领袖来留住低收入学校的数学教师感兴趣。计划的参与者包括高需求学校和学区(图森和桑尼赛德联合学区)；数学教育和专业发展专家(CRR、IM&Amp；E和亚利桑那州教师倡议(ATI))；以及地区教育和商业机构：皮马县学校办公室、州教育局(SEA)和图森价值观教师(Tucson Values Teachers)，这是一个地区性商业/教育合作伙伴关系，致力于为教师提供激励、实习和专业发展机会。在规划期间，该联盟正在为亚利桑那州数学硕士教师计划(AZ-MTM)设计一个全面的计划，利用现有的专业发展机会，确定并确保匹配资金的承诺，并制定一个全面的评估计划。规划活动包括确定关于教师短缺的需求评估的时间表和程序，以及设计AZ-MTM计划的行动计划，包括招聘教师、课程和专业发展以及综合计划评估的协议。数学与教育研究所(IM&AMP；E)因将数学家、教育工作者和教师聚集在一起进行有效合作而享誉全国，该研究所正在协调规划年。该计划将建立在美国国家科学基金会数学科学伙伴关系基金亚利桑那州教师倡议(ATI)下开发的课程的基础上。

The Institute for Mathematics and Education (IM&E), the Department of Mathematics at the University of Arizona (UA), and a consortium of key stakeholders including high-needs schools and districts, university departments and programs, local educational agencies, non-profits and businesses are engaged in planning to develop a Master Teaching Fellows proposal. The AZ-MTM Consortium is bringing together a wide group of stakeholders interested in the retention of mathematics teachers in low-income schools through the development of teacher leaders. Participants in the planning include high needs schools and districts (Tucson and Sunnyside Unified School districts); experts in mathematics education and professional development (CRR, IM&E, and Arizona Teacher Initiative (ATI).); and regional education and business agencies: the Office of Pima County Schools, a State Education Agency (SEA), and Tucson Values Teachers, a regional business/education partnership working to provide incentives, internships and professional development opportunities for teachers. During the planning period the consortium is designing a comprehensive program for the Arizona Master Teacher Program for Mathematics (AZ-MTM), making use of existing professional development opportunities, identifying and securing commitments for matching funds, and developing a comprehensive evaluation plan. Planning activities include establishing a timeline and process for a needs assessment regarding teacher shortages as well as an action plan for designing the AZ-MTM program including protocols for recruiting teachers, courses and professional development and comprehensive program evaluation. The Institute for Mathematics and Education (IM&E) which has acquired a national reputation for bringing together mathematicians, educators and teachers for effective collaboration, is coordinating the planning year. The program will build on courses being developed under a NSF Math Science Partnership grant, the Arizona Teacher Initiative (ATI).
