Welcome to the Inland Counties Mathematics Project (ICMP) at CSUSB
Our Mission
The Inland Counties Mathematics Project (ICMP) focuses on enhancing teacher mathematical and pedagogical content knowledge while developing leadership capacity. Our primary goals are to:
- Lead teachers to a deeper understanding of mathematics.
- Increase teacher pedagogical knowledge.
- Develop a passion for mathematics that is exemplified in teacher practice.
- Make mathematics relevant to teachers and, consequently, to their students.
Diversity and Inclusion
ICMP is committed to supporting students with diverse backgrounds. We aim to meet teachers' content and credentialing needs while addressing the educational needs of students from diverse economic, ethnic, and language backgrounds.
Affiliation
ICMP is a regional site of the California Mathematics Project (CMP). The CMP's mission is to develop and enhance K-12 teachers' content knowledge and instructional strategies aligned with the California State Board of Education adopted and California Mathematics Standards Frameworks.
What's Happening Now:
Our Home: The CEME Office
ICMP operates within the Center for Enhancement of Mathematics Education (CEME). CEME addresses the continuum of mathematics education from kindergarten through college, focusing on enhancing content and pedagogy for pre-service and in-service teachers. Our ultimate goal is to improve college readiness in mathematics among students in the Inland Empire.
What We Do
- Create and sustain partnerships with schools, districts, and local counties.
- Provide ongoing coherent teacher professional development programs, lesson study, as well as self-contained workshops and institutes.
- Build leadership capacity in local schools and districts.
- Assist teachers in earning their California teaching credential.
- Provide supportive resources for local teachers to enrich instruction and to fill in knowledge gaps. Begin this process while students are undergraduates.
- Provide incentives (scholarships) and mentoring for pre-service teachers to work in low-performing schools.
- Develop and offer seminars on teaching strategies for TA’s, part-time faculty, and full time faculty at CSUSB and other interested institutions.
Raise funds to carry out the activities described above.
