Description
This grant provides funding to support professional development activities for high school mathematics teachers (grades 9–12). The goal is to improve teachers’ mathematical knowledge, instructional skills, and the resulting impact on student learning. Proposals must present a detailed professional development plan, clearly articulate goals and objectives, describe anticipated outcomes for both teacher growth and student learning, and include an assessment strategy. While the grant does not fund the direct purchase of technology, professional development that involves technology integration is encouraged, and equipment may be included if it supports the plan but is not the primary focus.
