Option II, called M.A.T.H. (Mathematics And Teaching at CSUEB),
is for current high school teachers who wish to extend their mathematical
knowledge beyond the undergraduate level. This innovative program is responsive
to the needs of high school teachers and is informed by current pedagogy and
content standards. At the same time, this program is mathematically challenging
and rigorous. The teacher who successfully completes M.A.T.H. will be
mathematically reinvigorated and will have increased content knowledge in
mathematics, broader knowledge of the math teaching resources available to them,
familiarity with effective methods of using technology in the classroom, and
knowledge of current content standards. The M.A.T.H. courses are also available
to students not interested in pursuing a master's at this time. M.A.T.H. is
designed for the professional development of high school teachers interested
in learning more mathematics. M.A.T.H. is not appropriate for those interested
in teaching at the community college level.
