Preparing Math Leaders, Mentors and Master Teachers
Preparing Math Leaders, Mentors and Master Teachers
Started in 2019, the North Carolina High School Mathematics Master Teacher Fellows Program is preparing a select group of 19 high school mathematics teachers in seven high-needs school districts in North Carolina. Through this five-year program funded by the National Science Foundation, we are helping these teachers advance their knowledge in math and math teaching, become a reflective practitioner, and prepare to lead at the school or district level.
Program Description
The 19 Master Teaching Fellows will develop a mastery of math and math education through:
- Completing an online graduate certificate program in mathematics teaching and learning or a master’s program
- Attending a week-long summer professional development institute each year
- Working collaboratively to apply for National Board Certification
- Completing an online mentor training program
- Attending and present at mathematics teaching conferences
- Assuming leadership roles in your school or district
We are currently in Year 2 of our program. Our 19 Master Teaching Fellows have all graduated with their Master’s degree in STEM Education – Mathematics Education or with a Graduate Certificate in Teaching Mathematics.
