Preparing Virginia's Mathematics Specialist
Virginia Commonwealth University
The Preparing Virginia's Mathematics Specialist Institute is supported by the Math Science Partnership program of the National Science Foundation and operated by Virginia Commonwealth University. Two cohorts of 25 K-5 teachers in Virginia will participate in the project, each attending a four-week Institute for three consecutive summers; completing a total of 33 graduate credits during the Institute sessions and the subsequent academic years. Each participant will earn a master's degree and certification as a Mathematics Specialist, and then assume duties as a full-time specialist in an elementary school. HRI serves as the external evaluator for the project.
