The Summer Campus Program is a four-week professional development
program in mathematics content and pedagogy for Houston-area
PreK-12 teachers. Master Teachers who have demonstrated teaching
techniques consistent with RUSMP's philosophy provide
instruction in the Campus Program. Master Teachers model
teaching advocated by the National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics (NCTM) Standards under the guidance of RUSMP's
personnel. Participants take part in an active approach
to learning mathematics by participating in concept-based
learning activities with emphasis on motivation, applications,
and problem solving.
Rice University mathematics and science faculty, visiting mathematicians,
and mathematics educators address topics which enhance and
transcend traditional classroom mathematics emphasizing
mathematics content, school reform, applications of mathematics,
and gender and minority issues in mathematics education.
Upon successful completion of the Summer Campus Program
participants receive graduate and gifted/talented credit.
