This $380,433 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to understand the current conditions, challenges, and resources related to middle school mathematics education in rural areas of the United States. The project will involve a national survey of rural middle school mathematics educators and administrators, followed by in-depth interviews. The project team will then provide a three-part synchronous online professional development model to 10 rural middle schools to support rigorous mathematics curriculum and instruction. The project will examine how rural mathematics educators respond to this professional development and the factors that facilitate or impede the implementation of rigorous mathematics instruction in rural settings. In the final phase, the project will convene state and regional partners to generate recommendations for enhancing rural mathematics education. A mixed methods approach will be used to analyze the survey, interview, and observational data collected through the project.
