NRC Report Addresses Education Of Science And Math Teachers
Physics Bulletin of Science Policy News Number 107 September 12, 2000NRC Report Addresses Education of Science and math teachers.
http://www.aip.org/enews/fyi/2000/fyi00.107.htm

Extractions: Number 107: September 12, 2000 NRC Report Addresses Education of Science and Math Teachers The current system for preparation and on-going professional development of K-12 science and math teachers "needs rethinking and improvement, and not just on a small scale," warns a new report by a National Research Council committee. The committee offers recommendations for improvement that encourage partnerships between the K-12 and higher education communities in providing for teachers a seamless spectrum of continuous learning. It calls on colleges and universities - with collaboration between the science departments and the schools of education - to take primary responsibility for the continuing professional development of science and math teachers. In turn, school districts are urged to take responsibility for ensuring high-quality internships for prospective teachers. While expectations for student achievement are increasing, many teachers do not have adequate content knowledge to effectively teach science or math, the report finds; nor do most undergraduate-level science and math courses model the pedagogical approaches prospective teachers will need in the K-12 classroom. Once in the classroom, it says, beginning teachers are usually expected to be fully qualified, and often do not receive the support needed to improve and refine their content knowledge or their pedagogical skills. The report also asserts that teachers, "quite incontrovertibly, are not accorded the respect and recognition due professionals who hold such responsible positions in our society."

EMPLOYMENT FOR MATH TEACHERS
Teachers are sought, for contract work on mathlearning materials. Work iswell paid relative to teacher salaries. EMPLOYMENT FOR math teachers.
http://www.endeavor-meis.com/employment.html

Extractions: EMPLOYMENT FOR MATH TEACHERS Do publishers test-use material sold to schools? Endeavor Now intends its materials are thoroughly test-used in classes with different characteristics under varying conditions. This will be carried out by teachers in regular classes jointly with Endeavor Now under contract. The title of this occupation is MATH-TEXT DEVELOPER. The pay is covered by the contract and negotiable. Participating teachers can expect good pay. The project has long-term goals and is well funded by backers outside the education establishment of: administrators, coordinators . . . and publishers. To a large extent the participant makes the job what it is, in contrast to being told here is the job, do it. Basic qualification: able to arrange with school administration the use of material. It is generally expected that the school administration will be the party to the contract covering the work and the teacher will be its agent. Endeavor Now will compensate the school for expenses involved as well as paying the teacher. The contract covers this as well as teachers' responsibilities e.g. providing Endeavor Now progress information and student work. Endeavor Now will monitor it and work with the teacher in improvements in the material. If still interested after reading the text descriptions, complete texts will be sent. Their optimum effectiveness requires a 10 to 12 week block of class time. Their use can be worked into conventional schedules, but this is not most effective. Endeavor Now has no objection to any use and welcomes feedback in any case. Chances are, overall course content and time per topic remain the same. Only the distribution of time per topic changes. Instead of taking up analyzing spread through number and geometry topics, it is concentrated. This alone increases learning effectiveness. We believe the whole subject is more a waste of time and source of stress than a learning experience when spread through a text as "using math . . . math in our . . . think this out . . . "

Focus on problems and problem solving. How can you expect students to solve math problems if they don't know any math? Shouldn't math teachers focus first on teaching math? 2. Student-centered learning. This is the main problem with schools todaychildren are being taught by children. Students deserve to be taught by teachers, not by other students. 3.

http://www.learner.org/channel/workshops/math/10roles.html

Extractions: Cathy L. Seeley/Austin, Texas Real teachers in real schools face real challenges implementing the numerous standards and recommendations for mathematics teachers today. Many teachers reading the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' (NCTM's) Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) and Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics (1991) get excited about the possibilities for new kinds of instruction just as they are also bogged down by the overwhelming expectations about how they should provide that instruction. Within the complex description these two volumes provide about what teachers should do and how they should act, ten basic metaphors seem to emerge about new teacher roles. Some of these roles may feel fairly comfortable to some of you, and other roles may remind you just how hard it is to live up to you own ideals as a teacher. The teacher as architect: Architects create the environment in which we live and work-both the buildings and the feelings they evoke. Similarly, the teacher as architect creates the learning environment for students. From the arrangement of furniture that facilitates discussion, thought and exploration, to the feeling students experience when they walk into the classroom, the teacher establishes an atmosphere where mathematics and learning are important. Most of all, the teacher creates a place where students feel safe to take risks and share ideas, while learning to value the opinions of each other.

Extractions: Published Saturday, November 4, 2000 Sharon Schmickle / Star Tribune Whether the education stopped with dividing the big number into the little number or extended to elaborate dances with infinity, mathematics classes over the years generally have involved plugging numbers into equations and then cranking. Now, when computers can do much of the cranking, it turns out that math skills are more subtle and looming more important than ever. Thus math-education leaders are organizing the first major review since 1981 of the basic approach to teaching the subject to college students. And 33 prominent science and mathematics professors from around the nation are meeting at Macalester College in St. Paul this weekend for one thrust in that effort, led by the Mathematical Association of America. Although specific recommendations aren't planned until next year, some of the association's ideas already are being deployed on campuses. Within a few years, the proposed overhaul is expected to reach millions of college students nationwide. The basic problem has nagged at colleges for years. Students show up knowing less about math than ever before, yet they need
