Establish and coordinate innovative inservice programs for mathematics teachers.
Objective
Mathematics Workshops
Teachers who attend the Reeves Center workshops will be able to use presented material in their classroom.
KPI
Inservice Workshops
A post-workshop evaluation will be conducted asking the participants for specific ideas that they can immediately employ in their classroom.
Result
Presentations
No workshops were presented this past year.
Action
Workshop Needs Assessment
A needs assessment must be conducted to determine appropriate workshops that can be offered by the Reeves Center.
Goal
Research
Sponsor research to improve school mathematics curriculum, teaching, and learning.
Objective
Research Conference
Mathematics Education instructors who attend the MERiT (Mathematics Education Research in Texas) conference will find other researchers to work with or clarify their research topics.
KPI
MERiT Conference
A post-conference evaluation will be conducted asking the participants asking them to identify collaborators or new research topics.
Result
Conference Evaluation
Responses from participants indicated satisfaction with the conference and new networking alliances were formed.
Suggestions for topics for future conferences were also requested.
Action
Future MERiT Conferences
Up until this year, attendance at the conference has been limited to faculty from smaller universities with few mathematics educators. Attendance has gone down somewhat, due primarily to the fact that MERiT has been the impetus for other universities to form similar alliances and hold their own conferences.
For this reason, we may look into inviting doctoral students to future conferences as a way of helping them get feedback on their doctoral research.
