Math Teachers' Enrichment Program
At the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at Western University, we are committed to nurturing a deep appreciation for mathematics and empowering educators to inspire the next generation of mathematicians. We are excited to introduce our outreach program tailored for high-school and primary teachers.
In tandem with our existing outreach programs aimed at students, our focus has expanded to strengthen relationships with math teachers in our community. The Math Teachers' Enrichment program is designed to enhance and broaden the mathematical knowledge and teaching skills of math educators. As we recognize the crucial role teachers play in shaping students' mathematical journeys, this program is our way of supporting and empowering them with the tools they need to excel in their classrooms.
The Structure of Sessions:
This series will run in the form of two-hour-long session meetings. Each session will comprise two primary segments, with the flexibility to explore additional ideas:
- Mathematics Talks: During this segment, a member of the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences will deliver a math talk designed to spark interest in exploring new areas and fields within mathematics. These talks will also showcase captivating expansions on topics at present covered in classroom instruction, and share compelling mathematical history and stories.
- Math Learning and Teaching Dialogue: In this part, we will actively encourage teachers to voice their concerns regarding their students' learning experiences and teaching methods or participate in discussions on math in university classes.
The program is run by the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences and it is supported by the Canadian Mathematics Society through the Endowment Grants.
