[Time2000_t19 0313] TIME 2000 Recognized by NYSUT!
by Naomi Weinman 22 Jun '20

22 Jun '20

Dear TIME 2000 Students and Alumni, I thought you would enjoy seeing the article that was published about TIME 2000 in the latest issue of NYSUT (New York Statue United Teachers publication). Thank you for all the hard work you do to be successful and to make the program such a success! The link to the article is below, as well as a copy of the article. I hope you and your families are all well and that you will have a wonderful summer. Alice Artzt Alice F. Artzt Professor of Mathematics Education Co-Director of Undergraduate and Graduate Secondary Mathematics Education Director of TIME 2000: A Math Teaching Scholarship Program https://www.nysut.org/news/nysut-united/issues/2020/july/queens-college * NYSUT United<https://www.nysut.org/news/nysut-united> * July<https://www.nysut.org/news/nysut-united/issues/2020/july> Top of Form JULY/AUGUST 2020 ISSUE JUNE 13, 2020 Teamwork, mentoring secret to Queens College math ed program Author: Kara Smith Source: NYSUT United FacebookTwitterPrintMore [queens college] Caption: TIME 2000 program graduates with director Alice Artzt, center. Photo provided. Alice Artzt knew she had a problem when she started teaching secondary math education in 1985. "I think I had three undergraduate students entering my methods class," said Artzt, co-director of the Queens College secondary math education program. "I had some career changers, but I had few undergrads." With a single-digit undergraduate population, her choice was clear: start recruiting. But the Professional Staff Congress at City University of New York member also wanted to know why there were so few students. After learning Calculus One had a 50 percent drop rate, the problem became clear - a lack of student support. "They were entering as new students, with no friends and no support system, and they were too shy to go to their professor for help," she said. "If they were thinking of becoming math teachers, that first college experience would kill it." She envisioned a new type of teacher preparation program. One that supported students throughout their academic career, providing a built-in network of classroom friends, an accessible faculty mentor, tuition assistance and a clear path toward a teaching degree. Thanks to a National Science Foundation grant in 1997, Teaching Improvements through Mathematics Education, better known as TIME 2000 - to mark the looming millennium - launched. Nearly 25 years later, it's still going strong with an alumni network of more than 250 educators, and a 95 percent five-year classroom retention rate for program graduates. Past graduates are her best recruiters, said Artzt, TIME 2000 director. "I keep very close contact with the students. I want to know: What's going on? What do they need help with? What do they need me to know?" said Artzt who receives students' grades before they do and works with those who earn a C or less. Regular meetings with math professors also keep her in the loop. "I want anyone teaching a TIME 2000 student to have an investment in their learning." TIME 2000 students take all mathematics and education courses together; one of the first classes, first semester freshman year, is Human Development & Learning. "The course helps them reflect on their successes in learning math in high school and learn to apply that knowledge to learning math in college," said Frances R. Curcio, program co-director and Queens College professor emerita. Field work starts early. Freshmen observe a class taught by a Queens College alumna at the Louis Armstrong Middle School in Queens. "We meet with the teacher before the lesson, to discuss psychological principles to be applied, then we sit around the perimeter of the room and observe. Following the lesson, we debrief," said Curcio, a PSC retiree. "It gets them familiar with how hard it is to teach - many are shocked how much work goes into lesson prep and assessing student needs." Other program features include an annual high school math conference, a tutoring club, newsletter, focused mentoring, journal submissions and monthly hands-on seminars. "The seminars relate math to the real world," explained Curcio noting that past guests include a choreographer who discussed the math of dance, and a mathematician versed in the interlocking designs of artist M.C. Escher. Key to the program's success is keeping students together and having a dedicated faculty member they can turn to, said Artzt. "The relationships students have, that support group, is what gets them through when things get hard."

[Time2000_t19 0312] FW: Special meeting with QC students

17 Jun '20

Dear All, Read the two emails below and see the link for a small gift from Dr. Artzt via math professor Kris Klosin. Enjoy! Naomi It is really exciting to hear the proof of the Goldbach Conjecture from the person who proved it!!! Alice F. Artzt Professor of Mathematics Education Co-Director of Undergraduate and Graduate Secondary Mathematics Education Director of TIME 2000: A Math Teaching Scholarship Program Department of Secondary Education and Youth Services Powdermaker Hall, Room 150E Queens College of the City University of New York 65-30 Kissena Boulevard Flushing, NY 11367-1597 ________________________________ Dear all, as most of you know the Weak Goldbach's Conjecture states that every odd integer greater than 5 can be written as a sum of 3 primes. The Conjecture was proven in 2013 by Harald Helfgott who is now a professor at University of Goettingen. This Summer I am teaching a class intended mostly for Math Ed graduate students called "The Invitation to Modern Mathematics". In that class we discuss the Conjecture and some simple aspects of its proof. A few days ago I asked Harald Helfgott if he would agree to meet virtually with my students to discuss his work and answer their questions to which he has graciously agreed. The meeting took place last Friday over Zoom. If any one of you is interested in seeing the recording, here is the link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hwznSMlUmTF1UOki1SAPB-zv_JBqflvD/view?usp=… Best, Kris

[Time2000_t19 0311] Black Lives Matter
by Naomi Weinman 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

During the recent tumultuous days, we have been reminded that the racial injustices existing in our country and world need immediate and sustained attention and action. We have seen signs carried by CHILDREN, many of whom are likely New York City Public School students, as they participated in protests against the pervasive racist behaviors toward Black people. Seeing young children and their families crying to be heard caused us to reflect on our own responsibilities as mathematics educators. Although there are massive inequities throughout education, we are acutely aware of the particular issues surrounding the learning and teaching of mathematics, and the historically elitist view of who can learn math. Black students and students of color have been underserved in our educational system. We must work to ensure that every student learns math, remembering that what teachers might erroneously perceive as "lack of ability" is really about lack of ACCESS to high-quality educational opportunities. We, the mathematics education faculty at Queens College, commit to continually learn about the inequities within our educational system and to examine our own implicit biases in order to provide equal opportunities for our pre- and in-service teachers and their students, particularly those who are Black and students of color. We will begin by including anti-racist pedagogical materials in our coursework and class discussions. Our mission is to prepare teacher candidates who are knowledgeable, passionate, and well-equipped to teach in a culturally responsive manner. Black Lives Matter. Sent on behalf of the QC Mathematics Education Faculty
