Teachers need new learning opportunities to prepare them for higher expectations and 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.
This summer, we are pleased to announce the addition of two new courses to our offerings for middle level and secondary teachers, Math 896 Linear Algebra and TEAC 808E: Improvement of Instruction in School Mathematics.
For all in-person NMSSI courses, current Nebraska teachers automatically qualify for a tuition fellowship from UNL equal to 20 percent of in-state, graduate tuition. Additionally, Nebraska K-12 teachers can apply for supplemental NMSSI Fellowships to further defray tuition costs for NMSSI courses: http://scimath.unl.edu/nmssi.
Four courses for middle-level teachers will be offered in Lincoln this summer through the NMSSI. As follows are the course listings and registration steps (see full course descriptions and fellowship and registration application steps in the accompanying stories in this email):
