Program Learning Goals for Secondary Education: Mathematics 5-Adult
- To develop the mathematics skills needed to teach among the major mathematical domains: Number; Algebra and Functions; Statistics and probability; Geometry, Trigonometry, and Measurement; Calculus; and Discrete Mathematics.
- To develop and train students in mathematical processes of problem solving; reason and communicate mathematically; and engage in mathematical modeling.
- To train students to plan rigorous and engaging mathematics instruction supporting students’ equitable access and culturally responsible opportunities for learning.
- To develop and train effective and equitable teaching practices to support rigorous mathematical learning for a full range of cognitive abilities of diverse populations of students.
- To foster research based assessments and use evidence of students’ learning to improve instruction and subsequent student learning.
- To foster networking and professional growth opportunities to support student learning, and to create more equitable mathematics learning environments.
- To engage students in a planned sequence of field experiences and clinical practice in diverse settings under the supervision of experienced and highly qualified mathematics teachers.
