Algebraic Thinking for the Elementary Classroom Offered at ESU 7
With the NeSA-M now in place, Nebraska teachers of all grade levels are stepping up to strengthen mathematics achievement in their schools. Now more than ever teachers need new learning opportunities to help them offer high quality math courses to their students. The Nebraska Math and Science Summer Institutes (NMSSI) offer graduate mathematics and pedagogy courses using a teacher-friendly delivery model that helps teachers respond to this challenge.
To make the NMSSI professional development opportunities more affordable, UNL has agreed to offer tuition discounts to Nebraska teachers who take our summer courses. Nebraska teachers automatically qualify for a Tuition Fellowship (20% of in-state tuition) for these graduate courses. By applying through Teach Nebraska, the $50 grad school admission fee is also waived. Teachers may apply for additional fellowships from NMSSI to help cover tuition costs: http://scimath.unl.edu/nmssi. All NMSSI courses also include a free lunch.
This summer, MATH 896/803P: Algebraic Thinking for the Elementary Classroom (Class # 11446, Section # 952), will be offered in Columbus from June 17-21. The target audience for MATH 896/803P is grades K-5. This course is 3 graduate credits at UNL and applies toward a Master of Arts from the Department of Teaching, Learning and Teacher Education.
