Emerging Teacher-Leaders in Elementary School Mathematics Grant

Description

The Emerging Teacher-Leaders in Elementary School Mathematics Grant aims to increase the breadth and depth of the mathematics content knowledge of an elementary school teacher who has demonstrated a commitment to mathematics teaching and learning. The applicant must be a classroom (elementary school) teacher with at least three years of experience and have mathematics as a regular teaching responsibility; or be a full-time mathematics coach or mathematics teacher. Past recipients of this grant are not eligible to reapply. The applicant must be a current (on or before the application deadline) Essential or Premium member of NCTM. The applicant must have the support of the school principal in becoming a mathematics teacher-leader within her or his school or district. The desired outcome of the funded project is the development of an elementary school mathematics teacher with mathematics content expertise. The grant recipient will be expected to provide ongoing professional development to teachers within the school or district to strengthen their mathematical understandings and instructional practices. The professional development must include sustained in-service programs focusing on improving the content knowledge of the elementary teachers within the school or district and working with teachers in their classrooms through demonstration teaching or co-teaching. Applicants must submit a letter of support from the principal. The letter must confirm the teaching status of the applicant, demonstrate support for the proposed project implementation, and describe a plan for supporting the applicant's efforts to share their expertise as a leader in elementary school mathematics. Please visit the award's website or contact NCTM for more information.
