Program
trains math
supervisors
Thirty math teachers
from 11 South Carolina
counties are participating
in a special program this
semester at USC to train
math supervisors.
The orogram is funded by
a $16, .05 grant from the S.
C. Commission on Higher
Education. It brings the
math teachers to the USC
campus one night each
week this spring semester
and to a workshop here this
summer where they will
help children having
problems in math.
''Our new program,1
says director Jack M. Ott,
"is unlike any ever con
ducted in South Carolina
before, and I'm not aware
of another in the country
exactly like it."
Dr. Ott, who has taught
math from the fifth grade to
college level and formerly
headed the Test Develop
ment Center at Ohio State
University, explained that
previously one studied to be
a mathematics supervisor
for a South Carolina school
district by taking advanced
courses in mathematics and
other ccurses in educational
supervisien.
Ott's new program,
however, consists of
courses specifically for
su per visor s of
mathematics.
"There has been more
change in the instructional
programs of mathematics
in the past 15 years than in
any similar length of time
in history,'' Ott said.
This spring teachers in
the program, are being
introduced to available
math materials, new
curriculum ideas, orien
tation programs for math
teachers, and to the special
problems that students
have with math, according
to Ott.
This summer, he con
tinued, each teacher in the
program will spend two
hours a day working with
two elementary of high
school students who have
math problems. ''Our
idea,'' Ott said, ''is that if
teachers don't understand
student math problems, it's
,hard for them to supervise
math teachers facing these
poblems."
