Description:
The conference will be of interest to mathematics educators, mathematicians, teacher leaders and
state certification agency personnel interested in improving mathematics teacher preparation at the middle grades level.
Keynote sessions will focus on the current status of teacher preparation in mathematics at the middle level, mathematics preparation of middle grades teachers, the NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, and the impact of technology on teaching and learning mathematics in the middle grades. Existing models of middle school teacher preparation at a variety of institutions of higher education will be showcased via workshops and a poster session. Finally, five middle-grades mathematics curricula: Mathematics in Context, Connected Mathematics Project, MathScape, Math Thematics, and Middle-school Mathematics Through Applications will be showcased with specific emphasis on strategies for using these materials within teacher preparation programs.
