Teachers-In-Residence • Experienced teachers from the Milwaukee Public Schools. • On special assignment at the university. • Link academic teacher preparation and urban classroom practice. • Align teacher preparation and K-12 reform initiatives.
Transition to Post-Secondary Mathematics • Analysis of UWM & MATC placement data. • Publicizing expectations and policies of UWM & MATC placement tests. • Pilot programs at two MPS schools. • Mathematics Placement Enhancement Program (PEP) at UWM.
MILWAUKEE AREATechnical College Graduation Requirements The Future Transition to College Institutional Change New Courses CUTEP Math Focus
IHE Network for Mathematics • Comprised of mathematics faculty and mathematics educators from two-year and four-year universities and colleges. • Engage IHE faculty in studying the mathematical preparation of teachers. • Engage IHE faculty with PK-12 teachers and district specialists.
