A Project for Parents Understanding Math Assessment includes a teacher training program, parent workshops, print materials, and the 30-minute broadcast program Add It Up . Funded by the National Science Foundation, the project builds parent support for and understanding of current elementary-school level math curriculum, and existing and alternative approaches to math assessment. The project focuses on improving communication among parents, and teachers, as well as helping all parents support their children's growth in mathematical ability. The National Center on Adult Literacy at the University of Pennsylvania is developing courses, on-line diagnostic tools and modules for teachers and students, and Kentucky Educational Television is producing two new broadcast series, Workplace Essential Skills , and GED Skills 2000 . KCET Education is proud to collaborate with California State University at Fullerton to provide this important resource for those considering entering the teaching field.
Teachers play a vital role in the development of young minds.
What children learn and experience during their early years can shape their views of themselves and the world, and a teacher plays a vital role in this learning and growing process. We hope you find the resources in this website helpful in your exploration of this rewarding career. The teams are sharing their ideas and results so that everyone can learn together. The world wide web makes this national collaboration possible. The teams are using the web to access science resources, communicate with scientists and each other, and to work together.
