National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Accepting Proposals for Pre-K-6 Classroom Research Grants
DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 7, 2014
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics supports teachers with the aim of ensuring equitable mathematics learning of the highest quality for all students through vision, leadership, professional development, and research.
To that end, NCTM is accepting proposals for its PreK-6 Classroom Research Grants program, which supports classroom-based research in pre-college mathematics education in collaboration with college or university educators.
For 2015–16, grants of up to $6,000 will be awarded to math educators or classroom teachers currently teaching math at the preK–6 grade level. The research must be a significant collaborative effort involving a college or university educator (a mathematics education researcher or a teacher of mathematics learning, teaching, or curriculum) and one or more classroom teachers. The proposal may include but is not limited to research related to 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 (although acquisition of equipment cannot be the primary focus of the grant); and/or innovative assessment or evaluation strategies.
Involvement of pre-service teachers is encouraged but not required. The research should lead to a draft article suitable for submission in the Mathematics Teacher Educator, Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, or in one of the NCTM school journals. Proposals must address the following: research design, a plan for collecting and analyzing data, and anticipated impact on students’ learning.
To be eligible, applicants must be an NCTM member as of October 15, 2014, or teach at a school having a current NCTM PreK-8 school membership. The college or university mathematics educator also must be a member of NCTM.
