Western Kentucky University seeks funding for a two-year program: New Directions in the Mathematics Preparation of Preservice Elementary/Middle School Teachers. The purpose of the project is to assist and prepare college mathematics faculty members throughout Kentucky to teach elementary and middle grades preservice teachers. The professional development program will take place over a period of two summers and the included academic year. For one week each summer, the participants will be in workshops working with national consultants, with experienced mathematics educators from the state, and with classroom teachers including Presidential Award Winners in Mathematics. The focus will be the implementation of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics and the Professional Teaching Standards, as well as the Call For Change from the Mathematics Association of America. Throughout the year, the group will meet at least two additional times with funding for the additional meetings from the Exxon Foundation and support from two state organizations, The Kentucky Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Kentucky Chapter of the Mathematics Association of America. A new state organization, The Kentucky Mathematics Association of Teachers of Teachers was organized during the process of formulating the proposal and the group will work with the PI throughout the project and after funding ends to continue the faculty development and network. A newsletter will also be published to connect participants to each other and to give information on state and national issues, resources and materials, and professional meetings. This project has the potential of being an exemplary model for mathematics faculty development in a state or region. Participants will be selected from public and private institutions, including two-year colleges, in Kentucky and funding for their travel will be assumed by their individual institutions. Cost-sharing by Western Kentucky University, by the Exxon Foundation, and by other institutions of higher education in Kentucky is 51% of the total cost requested from NSF.

西肯塔基大学寻求为期两年计划的资金：数学准备的新方向，准备前小学/中学教师。 该项目的目的是协助和准备整个肯塔基州的大学数学教师，以教授小学和中级职前教师。 专业发展计划将在两个夏季和包括学年的期间举行。 每年夏天一个星期，参与者将与国家顾问，经验丰富的数学教育者以及包括数学总统奖项的课堂老师一起参加研讨会。 重点将是国家数学课程教师委员会的实施和学校数学和专业教学标准的评估标准，以及美国数学协会的变化呼吁。全年，该小组将至少两次开会，并为埃克森大学基金会的额外会议提供资金，并获得了两个州组织，肯塔基州肯塔基州数学教师委员会和美国数学协会的肯塔基分会。 在制定提案的过程中，组织了一个新的国家组织，肯塔基州教师教师的数学协会是组织的，该小组将在整个项目中与PI合作，并在资金结束后继续教师发展和网络。 新闻通讯还将发布，以相互联系，并提供有关州和国家问题，资源和材料以及专业会议的信息。 该项目的潜力是成为州或地区数学教师发展的模范模型。 参与者将从肯塔基州的公共和私人机构（包括两年的大学）中选出，并为其旅行提供资金。 西肯塔基大学，埃克森大学基金会以及肯塔基州其他高等教育机构的成本分担是NSF要求的总成本的51％。
