Math for America (MƒA) is a nonprofit organization, founded in January 2004 by mathematician Jim Simons〔 with a mission to improve mathematics education in United States public schools by recruiting, training, and retaining highly qualified secondary school mathematics teachers.〔 〕〔 〕 ==Background== Peter Borish is also a founding board member of Math for America.〔("About – Peter Borish" ), ''Math For America''〕 MƒA created four programs, the MƒA Fellowship, to increase the number of mathematically talented individuals going into teaching, the MƒA Early Career Fellowship and MƒA Master Teacher Fellowship to support outstanding mathematics teachers already in the classroom and the MƒA School Leader Fellowship to support experienced mathematics teachers who have moved into administrative positions and oversee mathematics instruction in their schools.〔〔 〕 MƒA was founded by mathematicians, educators, and business people who share the belief that improving teacher quality and keeping good teachers in the classroom will result in higher student achievement in mathematics. The MƒA Fellowship and the MƒA Master Teacher Program were successfully piloted in New York City, where they continue to operate and are used as models for the creation of MƒA programs in other cities. The Programs were also the models used to bolster a new National Science Foundation Fellowship Teaching Program to substantially increase the corps of highly qualified science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teachers.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Math for America」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
