NCTM Accepting Applications for Classroom Research Grants for Teachers of Grades 7-12

DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 7, 2014

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics is accepting applications for grades 7-12 classroom research grants.

Grants of up to $6,000 will be awarded to support and encourage classroom-based research in pre-college mathematics education. The research must be a collaborative effort involving a college or university mathematics educator (a mathematics education researcher or a teacher of mathematics learning, teaching, or curriculum) and one or more grade 7–12 classroom teachers. The project may include but is not restricted to research on curriculum development and implementation; involvement of at-risk or minority students; students’ thinking about a particular mathematics concept or set of concepts; connection of mathematics to other disciplines; focused learning and teaching of mathematics with embedded use of technology; and/or innovative assessment or evaluation strategies. Research should lead to a draft article suitable for submission in the Mathematics Teacher Educator, the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, or in an NCTM school journals.

High school or college instructor applicants must be a current (on or before October 15, 2014) full individual member or e-members of NCTM to be eligible for an award. Seventh- or eighth grade teacher applicants must be a current (on or before October 15, 2014) full individual or e-member and teach at a school having a current (on or before October 15, 2014) NCTM pre-K–8 school membership.
