106. Ten Roles For Math Teachers Real teachers in real schools face real challenges implementing the numerous standards and recommendations for mathematics teachers today. http://www.learner.org/workshops/math/10roles.html

TEN ROLES FOR MATH TEACHERS Cathy L. Seeley/Austin, Texas Real teachers in real schools face real challenges implementing the numerous standards and recommendations for mathematics teachers today. Many teachers reading the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' (NCTM's) Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) and Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics (1991) get excited about the possibilities for new kinds of instruction just as they are also bogged down by the overwhelming expectations about how they should provide that instruction. Within the complex description these two volumes provide about what teachers should do and how they should act, ten basic metaphors seem to emerge about new teacher roles. Some of these roles may feel fairly comfortable to some of you, and other roles may remind you just how hard it is to live up to you own ideals as a teacher. The teacher as architect: Architects create the environment in which we live and work-both the buildings and the feelings they evoke. Similarly, the teacher as architect creates the learning environment for students. From the arrangement of furniture that facilitates discussion, thought and exploration, to the feeling students experience when they walk into the classroom, the teacher establishes an atmosphere where mathematics and learning are important. Most of all, the teacher creates a place where students feel safe to take risks and share ideas, while learning to value the opinions of each other.

108. Science Careers: Math Teacher Many math teachers use a “handson” approach that uses “props” or “manipulatives ” to help children understand abstract concepts, solve problems, http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/science-engineering-careers/

What do they do? A math teacher could... Teach students how to graph and find meaning in data. Use games and toys to teach a child arithmetic. Use geometry and proofs to develop logical thinking. Use examples from nature, like shells, to show students that math is all around them. Image Sources: See Image Credits Summary Overview Math teachers love mathematics and understand it well, but much more than that, they enjoy sharing their enthusiasm for the language of numbers with students. They use a variety of tools and techniques to help students grasp abstract concepts and show them that math describes the world around them. By helping students conquer fears and anxieties about math, teachers can open up many science and technology career possibilities for students. Teachers make a difference that lasts a lifetime!

September 29, 2010 Nobel Predictions September 23, 2010 FREE Daily News Alerts Advertisement Vastly increasing the number of math and science teachers in public schools has long been a goal of education reformers who see it as a long-term solution for ensuring the country's economic competitiveness and closing the gap in student achievement. Without a national mandate or a cohesive movement to do so, however, the responsibility for transforming college students into K-12 teachers has seen plenty of experiments but little national coordination. In particular, state and regional colleges have typically been at the forefront of teacher education, producing the bulk of the nation's teaching corps. Hoping to address what some have seen as a tendency among top public universities to shortchange teacher education in favor of lucrative research and grants, a group of almost 80 such institutions announced on Sunday a national initiative to boost the number of teachers in the critical fields of math and science.
