The job growths for Middle school teachers with also increase by 6% in the next 10 years. Teachers at the entry level for elementary school and secondary can expect annual salaries of $54,500 and $57,000 respectively

world, the daily interactions and experiences in which we use language, writing, reading, mathematics, science, and social studies do not occur in isolation. Rather, we draw upon our knowledge and understanding in each area as we explore, investigate, and learn each day: "Just as scientists use mathematics and language arts as tools, children should have opportunities to apply and enhance their mathematics, reading, and writing skills while investigating the natural world" (Bass, Contant, and Carin

Examining Mathematics Achievement Gaps in Three Middle Schools in Greenville County School District The achievement gap refers to the persistent disparity of educational measures observed between the performance of groups of students, such as students grouped by race, ethnicity or gender. The mathematical achievement gap in Greenville County School District can be observed on a variety of measures, including advanced placement in mathematics courses and standardized test scores. Data shows an unflinching

206 students selected in 50 states in the District of Columbia (Ingels et al., 2011, 2014). There were approximately 27 students selected per school. To cater for the complex sampling, the data include weights (students weights, parent weights, teacher weights, counselor weights, and school weights) that should be used to account for the sampling and non-response at the two stages of the data collecting process. For these reasons STATA and HLM software will be used in the data analysis process because

In summarizing these suggestions, most of school computers and even the ones at poor urban districts normally come with Excel. Furthermore, many of teachers if not all have personal computers at home which they can use to learn and practice with Excel spreadsheets. Even if teachers don’t have computers at home, they could also take advantage of computer resources at the public library (Zhao and Frank (2003).

declining enrollment of pre-service teachers and graduate students in education-related programs across the United States (Sawchuk, 2015) has resulted in the closure of Schools of Education and adjustments in the course offerings. Cross listing courses are one of the accommodations made by the schools.

the key to a great education. The Missouri Common Core State Mathematic Standards K-2, the Next Generation Science Standards, and the National Research Council Process Standards and the eight Mathematical Practice Standards are all useful when planning and assessing. Knowing all the standards that you are required to use in your teaching will provide the best results in both of these aspects. The Missouri Common Core State Mathematic Standards K-2 assist with planning and assessment in a variety

She was the first African American woman to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics. In September 1890, Haynes was born to Dr. William Lofton who was a dentist and a financial supporter of black institutions and charities, and to Mrs. Lavina Day Lofton who was active in the Catholic Church. She graduated from M. St High School in 1907, followed by Miner Normal School in 1909, and attended Smith College to earn a bachelor of arts degree in mathematics. Haynes married
