| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, CONTINUED: | SIGNIFICANT RESULTS: INTELLECTUAL MERIT 1) ANALYZE SURVEY DATA FROM 2013 AND ADMINISTER A 2014 SURVEY TO MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLES AROUND THE U.S.: CONSISTENT WITH THE 2012 SURVEY RESULTS, THE 2013 SURVEY RESULTS INDICATE THAT MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLE PARTICIPANTS VALUE BEING PART OF AN ONGOING MATHEMATICAL COMMUNITY. NINETY-SEVEN PERCENT INDICATED THAT THEY HAD GROWN MATHEMATICALLY AS A RESULT OF PARTICIPATING, AND EIGHTY-FOUR PERCENT WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY ONE OR MORE SPECIFIC CHANGES THEY HAD MADE TO THEIR TEACHING AS A RESULT OF THEIR MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLE PARTICIPATION. THEY REPORTED STRONG CONNECTIONS BETWEEN WHAT THEY LEARNED IN THEIR MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLES AND THE COMMON CORE. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED NEWSLETTER ARTICLE FOR A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE OTHER SURVEY RESULTS. THE 2014 SURVEY WAS SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED, WITH 405 RESPONDENTS, AND WE WILL BE ANALYZING THE RESULTS THIS YEAR. 2) ANALYZE LEARNING MATHEMATICS FOR TEACHING DATA FROM 2013: THE 2013 LEARNING MATHEMATICS FOR TEACHING DATA WERE ANALYZED AND SHOWED SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR RESULTS TO PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS OF THE INSTRUMENT TO MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLE PARTICIPANTS. 3) COMPLETE ONE CYCLE OF CLASSROOM VIDEOTAPING AND INTERVIEWS WITH THE CASE STUDY PARTICIPANTS, IN SPRING 2014.: FIVE OF THE 9 TEACHERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN SPRING 2013 WERE ALSO VIDEOTAPED AND INTERVIEWED IN SPRING 2014. ONE TEACHER WAS INTERVIEWED BUT NOT VIDEOTAPED BECAUSE SHE HAD TRANSITIONED TO TEACHING ENRICHMENT AND SERVING AS A MATH CONSULTANT FOR OTHER TEACHERS AT HER SCHOOL. OF THE THREE WHO DID NOT CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE, ONE HAD MOVED OUT OF STATE AND WAS NO LONGER TEACHING, ONE STARTED TEACHING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND DID NOT FEEL THIS WAS A GOOD YEAR TO PARTICIPATE, AND ONE DECIDED TO PARTICIPATE IN A DIFFERENT STUDY INSTEAD. VIDEOS FROM SPRING 2014 ARE CURRENTLY BEING TRANSCRIBED FOR ANALYSIS DURING FALL 2014. BROADER IMPACTS OBJECTIVES FOR YEAR 3 WERE TO SUPPORT THE THREE LOCAL MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLES ATTENDED BY THE CASE STUDY TEACHERS; TO CONTINUE DISSEMINATING PRELIMINARY RESULTS TO STAKEHOLDERS (MATHEMATICIANS, TEACHERS, MATHEMATICS EDUCATORS, THE MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLE COMMUNITY) THROUGH INFORMAL REPORTS, CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS, AND THE PREPARATION OF ADDITIONAL ARTICLES FOR PUBLICATION; AND TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT DATABASE AND WEB INFRASTRUCTURE FOR TRACKING INFORMATION ABOUT MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLES AND MAKING IT PUBLICLY AVAILABLE. THE THREE LOCAL MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLES SUCCESSFULLY HELD ACADEMIC-YEAR MEETINGS DURING 2013-2014. IN ADDITION, ONE OF THE SITES HELD AN INTENVSIVE SUMMER WORKSHOP FOR 20 NEW TEACHERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLE ACTIVITIES, IN PARALLEL WITH SIX "VETERAN" TEACHERS WHO DEVELOPED CLASSROOM MATERIALS RELATED TO MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLE SESSIONS. PROJECT PIS CONTINUED TO DISSEMINATE RESULTS THROUGH VARIOUS OUTLETS, INCLUDING A NEWSLETTER ARTICLE FOR THE MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLE COMMUNITY, CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS, AND AN ARTICLE ACCEPTED BY THE NOTICES OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY. WEB INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPED THIS YEAR INCLUDED A NEW WEBSITE AT WWW.MATHTEACHERSCIRCLE.ORG, A NATIONAL CALENDAR OF MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLE EVENTS, AND A SURVEY SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING INFORMATION ABOUT SITES AROUND THE COUNTRY. RESOURCES UNDER DEVELOPMENT FOR DISSEMINATION INCLUDE MORE ACCESSIBLE SESSION MATERIALS, CLASSROOM MATERIALS, AND VIDEOS ASSOCIATED WITH SOME OF THE MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLE SESSIONS. KEY OUTCOMES OR OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS: INTELLECTUAL MERIT TAKEN TOGETHER, THE SURVEY AND CASE STUDY RESULTS HAVE LED TO THESE FIVE KEY PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS: -MTC TEACHERS, AS A GROUP, ARE PROFESSIONALLY ENGAGED. WE DEFINE PROFESSIONAL ENGAGEMENT AS TENDING TOWARD LEADERSHIP AND INTELLECTUAL ENGAGEMENT IN MATHEMATICS AND TEACHING. -MANY TEACHERS VALUE THE MTC COMMUNITY. -MTCS INFLUENCE MANY TEACHERS' VIEW OF MATHEMATICS. -MANY TEACHERS WANT TO TRANSLATE MTC EXPERIENCES INTO K-12 CLASSROOMS. -SOME TEACHERS SEE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THEIR MTC EXPERIENCE AND THE COMMON CORE. MOVING FORWARD, WE SEE TWO PRIMARY FOCI FOR FUTURE WORK: 1) MTCS AS COMMUNITIES: TO WHAT EXTENT DO MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLES CREATE A MEANINGFUL PROFESSIONAL MATHEMATICAL COMMUNITY FOR TEACHERS, TO WHAT EXTENT ARE THEIR VIEWS OF MATHEMATICS AFFECTED, AND TO WHAT EXTENT DOES THE EXPERIENCE OF BELONGING TO A MATHEMATICAL COMMUNITY GET EXTENDED TO THE STUDENTS OF PARTICIPATING TEACHERS? 2) MTCS AS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: HOW DO MTCS FIT IN WITH THE LARGER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT LANDSCAPE, AND HOW CAN THEY BE EFFECTIVELY COMBINED WITH OTHER AVAILABLE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES? BROADER IMPACTS KEY BROADER IMPACTS OUTCOMES INCLUDED A NUMBER OF CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS, THE ACCEPTANCE OF A SPECIAL SESSION AT THE JOINT MATHEMATICS MEETINGS DEVOTED TO MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLES, THE ACCEPTANCE OF A PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE BY THE NOTICES OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY, AND AN ARTICLE DISSEMINATED TO THE MATH TEACHERS' CIRCLE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE MTCIRCULAR NEWSLETTER DESCRIBING SURVEY OUTCOMES. |
