Expanding Mathematics Preparation of Elementary and Middle School Teachers
Buck, Robert E.
PRIMUS, v14 n2 p141-155 2004
One of the major problems facing education today is the inadequate mathematics' preparation of pre-college students and their teachers. Most colleges and universities have well established programs for students planning to teach mathematics at the secondary schools; however, in many institutions pre-secondary mathematics has been addressed only within the context of elementary teacher certification programs. To help rectify this situation, the Mathematics Department at Slippery Rock University has developed two non-traditional mathematics minors that will expand teacher preparation for prospective primary, intermediate, and middle school teachers of mathematics.
