Introduction
This project is an outgrowth of the Tech Prep Region 10 Mathematics
Project and continuation and expansion of the Area 10 Mathematics and
Technology Professional Development Project. This project was designed
to help Area 10 high school mathematics teachers teach as suggested by
Indiana's Core 40 proficiencies and NCTM. Participants and project staff
have developed and implemented academically challenging but practically
based curricula. These curricula take full advantage of available
technologies. Twenty nine teachers, representing 10 high schools
participated in the June 1997 workshops and a total of 30 were involved for
the 1997-98 academic year. This offers workshops and in-school support to
Area 10 high school mathematics teachers. The project uses the expertise of
experienced past participants to strengthen the support of mathematics teachers
in Area 10. Experienced participants serve in an in-service model in which
teachers help teachers integrate technology and applications based curriculum
in the mathematics classroom. The project allows teachers who have just joined
the project to be more fully involved, and helps all teachers to use technology
in the classroom based on the positive experiences of previous participants.
