Math Project Looking For Mathematics Teachers
The University of Kansas, through their e-Learning Design Lab, is looking for mathematics teachers to help with a project, Blending Assessment with Instruction Program (BAIP). The BAIP lessons are designed to help teachers understand the Kansas mathematics standards and indicators and to provide ideas about teaching concepts that they may include in their teaching. Math teachers develop sample lessons , using a lesson design format .
KU has also created an e-learning model for delivering the lessons to teachers so they can select any aspect of a lesson and incorporate it into their own lesson plans. They are making significant progress in the development of lessons, but the number of lessons that they want to develop is very extensive. Their current plan is to develop four lessons for each assessed indicator for grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10.
KU needs more teachers to assist in the development of lessons this spring and summer to meet their goals for next fall. Each of the lessons is self-contained with no linking to web sites. These lessons are inclusive and provide the teacher detailed suggestions on teaching the concepts that are covered by the respective standards and indicators.
KU is paying teachers $300 per lesson. E-Learning Design Lab staff are available to consult with participating teachers as lessons are written. Each lesson is submitted to the e-Learning Design Lab where it is edited and reviewed to determine its application to the indicators before being accepted into the BAIP system.
If you are interested in additional information about this project, or want to write lessons, contact Cheryl Harrod, coordinator for outreach, at charrod@ku.edu or at 785-864-0760 or 785-864-0675.
