Pathways to Mathematics (PTM) is a collaborative program between the University of South Alabama Colleges of Education, Arts & Sciences, and Engineering, Bishop State Community College, and the Mobile County Public Schools System (MCPSS). PTM is addressing the need to increase the number of mathematics teachers in the MCPSS through enabling recent mathematics and engineering bachelor degree graduates to complete secondary mathematics certification in an intensive four-semester program that culminates with certification and an earned master's degree. The newly certified teachers (Noyce Scholars) are then participating in a two-year post-employment mentoring program designed to provide classroom support after graduation. PTM is preparing a total of up to 25 mathematics teachers (over the five-year period) certified to teach mathematics at the secondary level. PTM is doubling the number of math teachers who earn their certification from the University of South Alabama by creating a pipeline of undergraduate students beginning at the community college level and culminating in an earned master's degree and certification in secondary mathematics education. This project is expected to enhance middle and high school student achievement by providing certified mathematics teachers in high needs schools that currently lack certified math teachers.

数学途径（PTM）是南阿拉巴马大学教育，艺术与科学学院和工程学，主教州立社区学院与移动县公立学校系统（MCPSS）之间的合作计划。 PTM正在解决MCPS中增加数学教师数量的需求，通过使最近的数学和工程学士学位毕业生能够在一项密集的四学期课程中完成二级数学认证，该计划以认证和获得硕士学位的认证和硕士学位。新认证的教师（NOYCE学者）随后参加了为期两年的就业后指导计划，旨在在毕业后提供课堂支持。 PTM正在准备多达25名数学教师（在五年期间）认证，以在次要级别上教数学。 PTM通过创建从社区学院一级开始的本科生，并在中学数学教育领域获得硕士学位和认证，从而使从阿拉巴马大学获得认证的数学老师人数增加了一倍。预计该项目将通过在目前缺乏认证数学老师的高需求学校中提供认证的数学教师来提高中学和高中生的成就。
