This two-and-one-half year project involving teachers, university faculty, parents, students, retired teachers, and school district personnel will significantly enhance the mathematics background and pedagogical skills of thirty-two underprepared eighth-grade mathematics teachers in a predominantly minority urban school district. Throughout the duration of the project, City University of New York (CUNY) faculty and master teachers will provide the participants with mathematics instruction in areas relevant to the curriculum. During the academic year, participants will also practice and improve their teaching techniques in a Saturday Mathematics Academy attended by eighty underachieving students and their parents. On a rotating basis, they will teach the students, observe their colleagues' teaching, and advise parents on ways in which they can support learning at home. Retired teachers will serve as mentors for the participants and will assist them in translating their experiences from the Saturday Mathematics Academy into their regular classrooms. The evaluation will involve participants, their students, and their students' parents, and, at the end of the project, a dissemination meeting will be held for administrators from other interested school districts. The project is a collaboration between City College and New York City School District 10, which are contributing $286,478 in cost-sharing. Its combination of extensive instruction in content with regular opportunities to practice newly learned teaching techniques provides a model for significantly improving the qualifications of underprepared teachers that could be replicated by other urban school districts.

这个为期两年半的项目涉及教师、大学教师、家长、学生、退休教师和学区人员，将显着提高以少数族裔为主的 32 名准备不足的八年级数学教师的数学背景和教学技能城市学区。 在整个项目期间，纽约市立大学 (CUNY) 的教师和名师将为参与者提供与课程相关领域的数学指导。 在学年期间，参与者还将在周六数学学院练习和提高他们的教学技巧，该学院有 80 名成绩不佳的学生及其家长参加。 他们将轮流教导学生，观察同事的教学，并就支持在家学习的方式向家长提供建议。 退休教师将担任参与者的导师，并协助他们将周六数学学院的经验转化为他们的常规课堂。 评估将涉及参与者、他们的学生和学生的家长，并且在项目结束时，将为其他感兴趣的学区的管理人员举行一次宣传会议。 该项目是城市学院和纽约市第 10 学区之间的合作项目，双方共同承担了 286,478 美元的费用分摊。 它将广泛的教学内容与定期练习新学到的教学技术的机会相结合，为显着提高准备不足的教师的资格提供了一个模型，其他城市学区可以复制。
