The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,750,000 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of Alabama. The grant, titled "Cultivating Elementary Mathematics Specialists (CEMS)," aims to address the national need for improved mathematics teaching and learning in elementary schools. CEMS will prepare and support a cadre of Elementary Mathematics Specialists (EMSs) who are highly effective mathematics teachers and teacher leaders. The project will engage participating elementary teachers in sustained, intensive, evidence-based professional learning to develop their mathematical content knowledge, pedagogical capabilities, and leadership skills. As EMSs, they will provide effective, research-based mathematics instruction, coach novice teachers, and engage in various teacher leadership activities to foster widespread change in mathematics education. The project includes partnerships with four school districts and two non-profit organizations, and has three key goals: (1) increasing the number of EMSs in high-need school districts, (2) preparing and supporting highly effective EMSs, and (3) supporting EMSs as they serve as teacher leaders, including coaching novice teachers and teacher candidates.
