Dr. Gina Kling, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, was awarded a $500 mini-grant from the Michigan Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (MI-AMTE) for her proposal, A First Step Towards a Fact Fluency Institute. The project will provide for 25 elementary school teachers to engage in a full day of professional learning around meaningful, research-based techniques for developing and assessing fact fluency. Dr. Kling aims to use the grant funding as a catalyst in the development of larger and sustained professional development opportunities for mathematics teachers, including researchers, professors, undergraduate students, teacher leaders and school or area-wide mathematics coordinators.
Congratulations on your award, Gina!
