Financial Support for Mathematics Specialists' Initiatives in Virginia

Abstract

In this paper, the authors outline the financial support and structure that will enable university faculty and school system administrators and teachers to establish Mathematics Specialists in school systems across Virginia. Support from both corporate and federal/state grants will support programs to train and place Math Specialists in schools, and will also fund research to prove that well-prepared, school-based Mathematics Specialists will lead to major gains in student learning.
