This project builds on a very successful program of summer institutes for mathematics teachers, graduate students and university faculty at the Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI) run by the Institute for Advanced Study and supported in part by Boston University and EDC. In this project they will produce, publish and disseminate a strong mathematics content curriculum for in-service secondary mathematics teachers and prepare a group of specialized teacher-leaders to deliver this curriculum across the country. The program works on the theory that an immersion experience moves teachers to a higher order of understanding; formality and precision are crucial in mathematics; and teachers thrive in a mathematical community. Important components of this project are that expert teachers will ensure that the mathematics is relevant to the professional lives of secondary teachers and mathematicians will be core members of the development and review team. The materials produced for these courses contain ingredients for a problem-driven curriculum connecting advanced mathematical knowledge with the mathematics used by secondary teachers, in and out of their classrooms. Mathematics courses that connect upper-division university mathematics to secondary mathematics are not typically available to teachers. This program uses very well respected mathematics and mathematics educators to prepare content rich materials that will be tested at a prominent facility with teachers. They will also be working with presenters at this time to prepare facilitators guides for the materials. The developers currently have five three-week courses. The proposal will allow them to 1) add exposition and detailed commentary for facilitators; 2) add courses where there may be gaps in the mathematical topics and 3) prepare teachers who will work with mathematicians to develop and teach the materials to their colleagues using the PCMI professional development approach.

该项目建立在一个非常成功的夏季学院计划的数学教师，研究生和大学教职员工的夏季学院，由高级研究所（PCMI）由高级研究所开展的，部分由波士顿大学和EDC支持。 在这个项目中，他们将制作，发布和传播强大的数学内容课程，以用于服务中的二级数学教师，并准备一组专业的教师领导者，以在全国范围内提供该课程。 该计划涉及以下理论，即沉浸体验使教师提高了更高的理解顺序。形式和精度在数学中至关重要。老师在数学社区中蓬勃发展。 该项目的重要组成部分是，专家教师将确保数学与中学教师和数学家的职业生活有关，将成为发展和审查团队的核心成员。 这些课程生产的材料包含了问题驱动的课程的成分，该课程将高级数学知识与中学教师在课堂中使用的数学相关联。 教师通常不可用的数学数学课程与二级数学联系起来。 该计划使用非常受人尊敬的数学和数学教育者来准备富含内容的材料，这些材料将在与教师的杰出设施中进行测试。 他们还将与此时与演示者合作，为材料准备促进者指南。 开发人员目前有五个三周的课程。 该提案将允许他们到1）为促进者添加博览会和详细评论； 2）添加课程，其中数学主题可能存在差距和3）准备与数学家合作的教师准备使用PCMI专业发展方法向同事开发和教授材料。
