Math and science teacher education to benefit from $2 million, five-year grant

Project MAST2ER (Mathematics And Science Teacher Training in Educational Resources) was one of 42 U.S. Department of Education grants funded recently through the Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA). The project funds will be utilized to strengthen mathematics and science teacher education programs on the SUNY Fredonia campus through infusing evidence-based practices and data-based decision making that informs instruction, particularly instruction of English learners (ELs). Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) will serve as the core of all teacher candidate trainings.
