Current Faculty Activities in 数学 Education
朱迪·诺瓦克博士.D.
教授
Dr. 诺瓦克 is one of the founders of the Math Teacher 领导 Center, a $5.300万年 National Science Foundation project that developed a master’s program for secondary 数学教师. “The Math TLC program has challenged me both personally 和 professionally,” 一位参与者说. “After less than 18 months I feel like I have been molded into a more well-rounded educator, 和 not just in the field of mathematics.” Dr. 诺瓦克 is currently leading an NSF-funded project to study secondary teachers’ mathematical knowledge for teaching exponential functions.
埃德·罗伯特·鲍尔斯.D.
教授
Dr. Robert Powers’ work is in math curriculum 和 instruction. 他目前正在工作 on two grant projects related to the professional development of mathematics teachers. The “Initiating a Foundational 研究 Model for Secondary Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching” grant is a three-year, $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation investigating expert teachers’ mathematical knowledge for teaching exponential 高中的功能. The “Supporting Underst和ing through Meaningful Mathematical Instructional Tasks” grant is a three-year state-funded project that provides professional development to K-12 teachers in northwest Colorado school districts. Dr. 权力导致 UNC’s secondary mathematics teacher preparation program 和 regularly works with school districts to offer professional development to in-service 数学教师.
