Mathematics Education Master's Program Brochure

This project supports high school teachers to improve their mathematics content, pedagogy, and assessment related to teaching Algebra I, Algebra II, AFDA, Geometry, and the Mathematics Capstone Course. Radford University, Virginia Commonwealth University, Roanoke Higher Education Center, Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center, New College Institute, and the MathScience Innovation Center have partnered to offer distance-education graduate courses for 130 high school teachers in the Southwest, Southside, and Richmond regions. Courses include Linear Algebra for Teachers (VCU), Algebraic Structures, Functions, and Sequences for Teachers (VCU), Foundations of the Number System (RU), Equity and Diversity in Mathematics Education (RU), Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometry (RU), Applied Statistics for Teachers (VCU), and Educational Technology (RU). Courses address knowledge and best practices related to teaching Virginia’s 2009 Mathematics SOLs and/or Mathematics Performance Expectations for Virginia’s College and Career Readiness Initiative.

All courses count towards RU’s mathematics education master’s degree, as supported by the Virginia Mathematics and Science Coalition’s Statewide Masters Programs. If funded, classes, books, and applications will be free of charge.
