Secondary Math Pedagogy, MSI
Math and Science Investigation University of Richmond, Fall 2012 – Fall 2013 http://education.richmond.edu/MSI-Richmond/index.html The MSI Program sponsor three separate math pedagogy and content graduate level courses for middle school math teachers. This program is specifically designed to help teachers gain valuable content knowledge and research–based pedagogical skills to employ in Richmond Public School (RPS) classrooms. Our goal is to help RPS middle school math teachers employ effective teaching strategies to promote academic success and nurture curiosity for RPS students in the sciences. Each teacher received individual coaching and mentoring by instructional specialists in the math field. This includes in-school observations, videotaping, examining teaching strategies, and content delivery with follow-up consultations. |

Unit Plan: Mindful Transformations, More Than Meets The Eye An innovative partnership among CMS (Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools), the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte), and Johnson C. Smith University, and is made possible by a joint commitment of resources and energy from all three Institute partners and through the generosity of private funders and community partners. Led by classroom teachers in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) and professors at UNC Charlotte and Johnson C. Smith University, CTI is founded on four pillars of strong professional development: content knowledge, creativity, leadership and collaboration. CTI continues to maximize its strong educational and community alliances to provide engaging, effective, teacher-led, professional development for CMS educators to advance student growth.

Unit Plan: Mathematics of Energy Efficiency: Use Less, Save More Teachers Institutes focus on the academic preparation of school teachers and on their application in their own classrooms of what they study in the Institute. By linking institutions of higher education with urban or rural school districts where the students are mainly from low-income communities, Institutes strengthen teaching and learning in public schools and also benefit the institutions whose faculty members serve as seminar leaders. Participants do research, create and implement curriculum units based on topics discussed in group seminars. |
