NJ-PEMSM Institute
The Institute provides a structured program of seven graduate courses at Rutgers University over
two years, applicable to :
The Institute also includes a series of workshops on special education in mathematics,
and a series of seminars on teacher leadership. As space permits, the workshops on special
education in mathematics will be open to all teachers in the partner districts.
Partner Districts
There are currently 7 partner districts. For more information, please check out the Locations page!
We invite inquiries from districts interested in joining the partnership.
Goals
To prepare a cadre of mid-career middle school mathematics teachers to :
- understand the mathematics of middle school more deeply
- engage their students more effectively in studying and learning mathematics
- take on leadership roles such as math coach or facilitator of in-house content-based professional development for their colleagues
Participants
The NSF grant will support four cohorts of experienced teachers as they complete NJ PEMSM Institute
activities, and take on peer leadership roles in their districts. Each cohort will enroll about 25
teachers of mathematics, primarily from grades 6 through 8. Teachers admitted to the Institute will
receive PEMSM Fellowships.
