Robert Rosenbaum, University Mathematics Professor at Wesleyan University,
established the Project to Increase Mastery of Mathematics
and Science (PIMMS) at Wesleyan in 1979. In 1984, the first of a
series of two-year, multi-week, Fellowship Institutes (PIMMS
professional development programs) began. Since then, approximately 700 teachers,
K-12, have become Fellows. Many now serve as school, district and state
leaders in mathematics and science education. Through outreach
activities with their colleagues and educators statewide,
they impact 12,000 -15,000 teachers each year. Annually,
1500 teachers attend one or more of PIMMS 50 high-quality
professional development programs. Learn more about PIMMS... |
