The Curtis Center aims to increase the quality
of pre-collegiate mathematics activity by providing effective
opportunities for K-12 teachers to deepen their understanding
of the mathematics they teach, extend their knowledge of mathematics,
and learn how to apply their mathematical knowledge to the
work of teaching. To this end we support:

Curtis Center Mathematics and Teaching Conference: March 6, 2010
We enthusiastically invite you to attend the fourth-annual UCLA Mathematics Department's Philip C. Curtis Jr. Center for Mathematics and Teaching Conference on March 6, 2010! The conference is composed of a keynote talk and breakout sessions in three areas: Mathematics for Mathematics Teachers, Strategies for the Effective Instruction of Mathematics, and Mathematics Education Research and/or Recommendations. The keynote talk will be given by Dana Center's Uri Treisman. In addition, an outstanding group of speakers have agreed to present in the breakout sessions. We believe the day will be thought provoking and worthwhile for mathematics teachers, mathematics teacher leaders, mathematics education researchers, and mathematicians alike and hope to see you there!

The
Mathematics Content Program for Teachers and Students
MCPT offers authorization
programs for teachers who wish to earn authorizations to teach
mathematics through grade 9. Their 8-course program is the
only comprehensive program approved by the California
Commission on Teacher Credentialing for supplementary
authorization in mathematics, and their 12-course program
is approved for subject matter authorization. Each
four-unit course generally meet once a week for 10
weeks at locations in the greater Los Angeles area. MCPT also provides mathematics professional development to schools and districts. For
more information, please visit www.math.ucla.edu/mcpt. |

The UCLA Site of the Mathematics Diagnostic
Testing Project
MDTP is an outreach project of the CSU and UC Mathematics
Departments that develops, distributes, scores, and reports
the results of tests that measure student readiness for mathematics
courses ranging from Pre-algebra to Calculus. Diagnosing
a student's mathematical strengths and weaknesses can help teachers
identify topics and skills that need more attention in courses
and can help students focus on areas needing review to increase
their chance of success in those courses.
MDTP aims to help California's teachers better prepare
students for further study in mathematics, identify topics
and skills needed for success in mathematics, and bring
faculty from secondary schools, colleges, and both university
systems together for cooperative discussions of curricular
issues.

The Executive Offices of the California Mathematics Projects
The California Mathematics Project consists of 19 regional
sites located at college and university campuses throughout
the state. Each of these regional sites designs programs
that meet the unique needs of schools and teachers in
their region. Programs may include: intensive institute
models, teacher leadership institutes, year-round workshops
targeted on a specific mathematical topic, formal partnerships
(or contracted services) with schools and/or districts,
and programs aimed at specific school constituencies
(e.g. students, aides, administrators, parents).
Ultimately, the goal of the CMP is to enhance the quality
of California’s K-12 mathematics education by increasing
teachers’ mathematical content knowledge and pedagogical
content knowledge, and by supporting and developing leadership
skills.
