Mathematical ACTS: Achievement and Collaboration for Teachers and Students is a project that focuses an existing University of California - Riverside (UCR) and Jurupa Unified School District partnership involving pre-service and in-service education of teachers to an emphasis on student mastery of Algebra I content. In this new effort, the partners will establish a spiral of instructional training for upper elementary and middle school mathematics teachers. Embedded in a research paradigm, Mathematical ACTS will examine the main effects of preservice education, professional development and/or extended learning opportunities on student achievement in mathematics and on teacher career growth. As the project scales up, the partners will analyze students of teachers with or without Mathematical ACTS professional development experiences, and with or without a pre-service candidate available to facilitate re-teaching.
The Principal Investigator of Mathematical ACTS is Richard Cardullo.
More information can be
found on a separate web site created by this project: http:// mathacts.ucr.edu.
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Math ACTS
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 as
well as the interactive calendar have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
Mathematical ACTS project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups.
