The Integral Role Of Borough Of Manhattan Community College In The Mathematics Preparation Of Prospective Teachers, J. Gaston Jan 1998

The Integral Role Of Borough Of Manhattan Community College In The Mathematics Preparation Of Prospective Teachers, J. Gaston

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) of the City University of New York (CUNY) is the only two-year college on the island of Manhattan. This institution has a diverse population of approximately 17,000 students who attend day/evening/weekend classes. Over 1,000 students are enrolled in the Early Childhood Education (ECE) Program. Each year, approximately 300 new students select this area of concentration. The dropout rate is less than 14%. The ECE Program prepares students for elementary education programs at four-year institutions. The program also offers two career areas of study: Infant Toddler and Pre-School. This article will discuss how high quality …

The Integral Role Of Tulsa Community College In The Mathematics And Science Preparation Of Prospective Teachers, C. Thompson

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

The role of the two-year college in the mathematics and science preparation of prospective teachers is fast becoming a prominent influence on teacher education programs across the country. This article describes the multifaceted role of Tulsa Community College (TCC), Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the preparation of prospective teachers in math and science. Since 1987 Tulsa Community College has hosted many events, activities, and programs aimed at the sciences. TCC activities/programs have focused on five areas: (1) preservice and inservice preparation; (2) summer teacher institutes supported by state and federal grants; (3) recruitment and emphasis on underrepresented groups; (4) parateacher associate degree/certification …


Accepting The Challenges: The Emerging Role Of Grand Rapids Community College In Preparation Of New Teachers, J. Hesse Jan 1998

Accepting The Challenges: The Emerging Role Of Grand Rapids Community College In Preparation Of New Teachers, J. Hesse

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

In 1992, Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) was one of six community colleges invited to participate in a NSF initiative to improve science and mathematics teaching within the state of Michigan. This initiative included all public teacher preparation institutions in the state. GRCC has responded to this challenge by: (1) designing a new course in Physical Science for future teachers; (2) creating the GRCC Teacher Education Pathway and the GRCC Teacher Education Center; (3) forming a local alliance with Grand Rapids Public Schools and Grand Valley State University for the purpose of recruiting and supporting minorities in mathematics and science …


Pre-Education Programs: A Comprehensive Project At Henry Ford Community College, D. Zopf, L. Smyrski Jan 1998

Pre-Education Programs: A Comprehensive Project At Henry Ford Community College, D. Zopf, L. Smyrski

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

Henry Ford Community College (HFCC) in Dearbom, Michigan is a two-year institution of higher education serving a diverse student population of approximately 13,000 students. In addition to providing a broad array of technical and vocational programs, the College provides the first two years of a baccalaureate program. However, the transferability of these programs is not assured. In the absence of a mandated state-wide curriculum, two- and four-year colleges and universities in Michigan develop courses and programs independently, and the transfer of courses between institutions is determined independently by the respective departments. The end result is often loss of credit when …
