The "Mathematics Teacher Transformation Institutes" (MTTI) project is a research-based investigation of how leadership emerges and is expressed through mathematics knowledge, student-focused instructional practices, and influences on schools' mathematics outcomes. In particular, this research is broadening the knowledge base on teaching and learning in mathematics through new understanding of how the study of conceptually-challenging mathematics, particularly in algebra and geometry, benefits second-stage teachers (4-10 years' experience); of how classroom-based action research contributes to critical and analytical understanding of the relationships between teaching practices and student learning; and of how multi-levels of support prepare second-stage teachers for leadership roles.

The Principal Investigator of Math Teacher Transformation Institute is Chris Sormani.
More information can be
found on a separate web site created by this project: http:// comet.lehman.cuny.edu/ mtti.
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the MTTI
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections as
well as the interactive calendar have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
Math Teacher Transformation Institute project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups.
