A uniquely integrated Partnership between Florida Atlantic University and The Broward County School District, the nation's fifth largest fully-accredited school district, proposes an Institute for Standards Mapped Graduate Education and Mentoring for Middle Grade Math Teachers for a 5 year period. The partnership builds upon a highly successful working relationship and existing institutional cooperation. The dedicated team of researchers, administrators, and teachers provides a strong foundation for the success of the new program.
The Institute creates and delivers a unique curriculum for graduate-level middle grade teacher education as an extension of the MST (Master in Science in Teaching) degree program of the FAU Dept. of Mathematical Sciences. Ongoing development of the multidisciplinary curriculum by faculty and teacher leaders is based on a new concept mapping approach and includes technology and science integration.
The Principal Investigator of Standards Mapped Graduate Education and Mentoring is Heinz-Otto Peitgen.

This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Standards Mapped GEM
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 have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
Standards Mapped Graduate Education and Mentoring project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
