The University of Arizona (UA) and Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) partnership develops and implements a vertically integrated, nationally replicable Arizona Teacher Institute offering a Master's Degree in Middle School Mathematics Leadership for middle school teachers; a Certificate in Mathematics Teacher Mentoring for secondary-certified teachers; and a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Teacher Preparation for recent mathematics Ph.D.'s.
In addition to teachers directly engaged, the project has long-term impact by establishing a permanent degree program serving regional and national audiences through distance learning. The Institute is designed so that, in addition to producing middle school teacher leaders, it trains secondary-certified teachers and postdoctoral faculty serving as instructors for distance versions of the courses in the Master's program, and eventually for future local versions of the Teacher Institute.
The Principal Investigator of Arizona Teacher Institute is Daniel Madden.
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Arizona Teacher Institute
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
Arizona Teacher Institute project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
