Graduate Studies in Mathematics Education
The program options in Mathematics Education are offered
through the Center for Mathematics Education and are among the strongest
in the country. For experienced teachers seeking a master’s
degree, specialization in mathematics education is offered in the
M.Ed. Teacher Leadership Program Option, the M.Ed. Teaching and
Learning in the Middle School option and the M.A.
option. For advanced degree candidates seeking the doctorate,
the program offers specialization in mathematics education in both
the Ph.D. and Ed.D options. Elementary, secondary, or college level
mathematics education can be emphasized in these graduate programs.
The Center for Mathematics Education is home to six faculty members with a variety of research and teaching interests from early childhood
to college. Their interests include curriculum development, broad-scale
teacher enhancement, cooperative learning, multicultural education,
teacher education, and the study of mathematical misconceptions.
The Center has a collection of instructional resources and recent
publications in mathematics education that serve as resources to
both undergraduate and graduate students.
The faculty is actively engaged in a variety of research and development
projects. One faculty member holds a joint appointment with the
Mathematics Department. The Mid-Atlantic Center for Mathematics
Teaching and Learning, National Science Foundation funded project,
provides Fellowships for eligible doctoral and post-doctoral students.
Graduate research or teaching assistantships as well as fellowships
are frequently available for outstanding candidates.
Faculty members include Patricia Campbell, Ph.D. (Florida State),
Daniel Chazan, Ed.D. (Harvard Graduate School of Education, Cambridge,
MA), James Fey, Ph.D. (Columbia University), Anna Graeber, Ed.D.
(Teachers College Columbia University), Martin L. Johnson, Ed.D.
(University of Georgia) and Aisling Leavy, Ph. D. (Arizona State
University).
