Challenging. Rigorous. Intense. An opportunity not to be missed. These are some of the comments we hear from our Math in the Middle participants.
Funded by a five-year, $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the Math in the Middle Institute Partnership educates and supports teams of outstanding middle-level (grades 5-8) mathematics teachers to become leaders in their schools, districts and Educational Service Units.
Through their experience in Math in the Middle, teachers:
build strong mathematics content knowledge
study and practice the art of pedagogy
develop the ability to conduct action research about their teaching practices
cultivate leadership skills
apply this knowledge and skill in their classrooms, schools and districts
With the focus of developing strong intellectual leaders, the Math in the Middle Institute Partnership (also referred to as M2 – M Squared) has partnered with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln Public Schools, ESUs and rural school districts.
