IEQ: Success in Algebra: Improving Special Education Teaching Practice

This proposal is targeted to work with a total of 20 special education middle and high school mathematics teachers from five districts: Breckinridge, Hancock, McLean, Ohio, and Owensboro Independent. The project consists of full-day academic year cadre meetings, two summer institutes (June 2013 and June 2014), and a webpage/online community. The participants have already been identified and their districts and schools have agreed to release them for project activities. The project design and subsequent facilitation will utilize the expertise from a broad partnership led by the P-12 Math and Science Outreach office of the Partnership Institute for Math and Science Education Reform (PIMSER) at the University of Kentucky, Morehead State University and the PIMSER Master Teachers (Regional Teacher Partners/RTPs).
