To that end, NCTM is accepting applications for its Emerging Teacher-Leaders in Elementary School Mathematics Grants program, which aims to increase the breadth and depth of the mathematics content knowledge of –pre-K-5 school teachers who have a demonstrated commitment to mathematics teaching and learning.
Grants of up to $6,000 will be awarded for the professional development of one teacher per school. Grantees will be expected to provide ongoing professional development to teachers within the school or district to strengthen their mathematical understanding and instructional practices. Such efforts should include sustained in-service programs focused on improving the content knowledge of elementary school teachers within the school or district .
To be eligible, applicants must be a current NCTM member (on or before October 15, 2015), a classroom (elementary school) teacher with at least three years of experience,, and teach mathematics as a regular responsibility. In addition, the applicant must have the support of the school principal in becoming a mathematics teacher-leader within his or her school or district.
