Posted On: May-1-2009
A team from the IU School of Education is working with colleagues from the IU Math Department to help elementary teachers in Greene County, Indiana become more comfortable teaching higher-level math concepts, particularly algebra. The Greene County Math Advancement Partnership Project (Greene MAPP) is in the midst of a two-year effort to help teachers in five school corporations. The project involves monthly sessions and a roaming “math coach” who helps teachers in the classroom.
The Indiana Department of Education is funding the way for nearly 80 teachers from kindergarten through 6th grade to attend monthly sessions and intensive summer sessions.
Hear from the teachers, IU faculty, and the "math coach" in this short video.
