COEHDnews -- Week of Fri, July 28, 2017 Spotlight COEHD hosts S.A. Math Collaborative summer session<http://education.utsa.edu/spotlight/article/coehd_hosts_s.a._m... [Screen shot 2017-07-25 at 4.01.41 pm] The San Antonio Mathematics Collaborative (SAMC) provides secondary mathematics teachers who work in high-needs schools with ongoing professional development and classroom mentoring. The current cycle is in its second year and includes 29 middle and high school teachers and 13 dual credit pre-calculus teachers. During the three-week summer session, participants work with project directors, mentors, and master teachers not only to develop deeper understandings of content, but also to develop classroom-ready activities focused on problem solving and higher-order thinking skills. Teachers also attended the Conference for the Advancement of Mathematics Teaching in Ft. Worth, TX. During the academic year participants will attend one session per month at UTSA tailored to their needs and will receive classroom-based mentoring by university partners. The pre-calculus group will also teach one lesson at UTSA. SAMC is a collaboration between the COEHD (Dr. Emily Bonner), ATE (Mrs. Effie Mata), and COS (Dr. Betty Travis, Dr. Priya Prasad, and Dr. Cody Patterson). Dr. Bonner has been the PI on this project with Dr. Travis (Co-PI) since 2012.
