The South Jersey Math Partnership at Rowan University is an intensive
professional development project involving Rowan University and more
than 30 school districts in South Jersey. The Partnership will
improve the quality of middle grades mathematics and science teachers
by deepening their understanding of mathematical and science content
and pedagogy. The Partnership will also increase the number of
highly-qualified teachers, teachers obtaining Elementary Certification
with Subject Matter Specialization in Mathematics or Science.
Moreover, the Partnership will enhance teachers’ and students’ use of
technology and most importantly, improve student achievement in
mathematics and science.
Three cohorts (100 teachers) of grades 3-8 teachers will participate in
SJMP. Grades 3-4 teachers will begin the project during the
summer of 07 with an intensive, two-week summer math and science
integrated institute that will revolve around robotics. Teachers
will continue the project in the fall 07 and select a graduate course
(15 weekly classes) in algebra or astronomy. In spring 08,
teachers will select a course in geometry or biology. Moreover,
teachers will also receive visitations in their classrooms by project
staff.
