Abstract: |
The National Science Foundation sponsored Math Science Partnership Institute between Florida Atlantic
University and the School Board of Broward County is designed around a new Master's degree program for
Middle Grades teachers offered by the Dept. of Mathematical Sciences. Its goal is to provide a broad content
background that emphasizes connections within mathematics such as between algebra and geometry as well as
to other areas such as science and art. It relies on discovery learning, interactive technology, awareness of state
mandated standards, and teachers teaching teachers to stimulate interest and motivation while enhancing
pedagogy and content knowledge. We will describe our experience with this program from both faculty and
teacher participant points of view. |
