Project AIM: All Included in Mathematics

North Carolina State University (NCSU)

08/01/2010

This project will adapt and study successful discourse strategies used during language arts instruction to help teachers promote mathematically-rich classroom discourse. Of special interest is the use of models to promote mathematics communication that includes English language learners (ELL) in mathematics discourse.The project will result in a full 40-hour professional development module to support mathematics discourse for Grade 2 teachers, with an emphasis on place value, multidigit addition and subtraction, and linear measurement.

Project ATOMS: Accomplished Elementary Teachers of Mathematics and Science

North Carolina State University (NCSU)

09/01/2011

The project is studying the impact of the mathematics and science intensive pre-service preparation program for elementary school teachers. The project includes assessments of pre-service teachers' math and science content, teacher performance, self-report surveys, and teacher interviews. Each of the study dimensions (Knowledge Dimension, Teaching Performance, and Perspectives on the Program) will be assessed at three time points across this longitudinal study, providing a model for elementary teacher development of STEM teaching.

Validation of the Equity and Access Rubrics for Mathematics Instruction (VEAR-MI)

North Carolina State University (NCSU)

07/15/2019

The main goal of this project is to validate a set of rubrics that attend to the existence and the quality of instructional practices that support equity and access in mathematics classes. The project team will clarify the relationships between the practices outlined in the rubrics and aspects of teachers' perspectives and knowledge as well as student learning outcomes.
