Center for Recruitment and Retention of Mathematics Teachers

Angel Baloh and Suzanne Kozak, members of the Center's first tutoring class take part in the Mathematics Educator Appreciation Day Conference. Angel and Suzanne have both participated in the Induction Program and the summer Mentor Workshop. Angel teaches at Pueblo High School and Suzanne is at Townsend Middle School.
The Center for Recruitment and Retention of Mathematics Teachers at the University of Arizona was created in August, 2001 to address the shortage of qualified mathematics teachers at the middle and high school levels. Its goals are to retain mathematics teachers currently in the field and to attract mathematically talented college students to the teaching profession. Towards this end the Center coordinates several projects, including a program for new teachers (Induction Program), a tutoring project to attract college students into mathematics education, a cable television show geared to middle and high school students, Do the Math, and an annual Mathematics Educator's Appreciation Day Conference for middle and high school teachers. These and other projects are described by links above.
