The purpose of the MA in Mathematics Education program is to promote and support teacher-leaders to be knowledgeable both in mathematics content and in the use of pedagogical practices that enable all students to learn mathematics. For CA teachers holding a multiple subject credential, the mathematics courses required for this program will also satisfy the requirements for a supplementary authorization to teach mathematics at the middle school level.

Teachers will work together to:

·  Increase their mathematical knowledge and pedagogical knowledge

·  Examine current equity issues in mathematics

·  Develop leadership skills

·  Design classroom research to answer relevant questions about student’s mathematical learning
