In this MSP project, the University of Rochester partners with the Penfield and Rush-Henrietta School Districts as well as a consortium of twenty-three rural districts through the Genesee Valley Board of Cooperative Educational Services (GVBOCES) in an effort to develop effective ways to foster the mathematical content knowledge necessary for a successful implementation of reform mathematics curricula. The two suburban Rochester districts are in various stages of the adoption and implementation of curricula while the rural districts are in the early stages of a curricular reform process. Together, the districts in this partnership serve roughly 28,000 students. Other partners in this work are the Education Development Center, Horizon Research and WestEd.
The Principal Investigator of Deepening Math Content Knowledge is Judith Fonzi.
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Deepening Math
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
Deepening Math Content Knowledge project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
