Middle-school math teachers throughout Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES have an opportunity to participate in an online-based, professional development model geared toward rural school districts. The project is part of a $2.8 million grant awarded to the University of Rochester’s Warner School of Education by the National Science Foundation. The funding covers a four-year period. “This program will expand our current professional development and research efforts to reach and benefit rural teachers, who have had limited access to high-quality professional development resources and experiences in the past due to geographic isolation,” said Jeffrey Choppin, chair of teaching and curriculum at the Warner School. “Our ultimate goal is to influence student learning and outcomes in all areas of the country, regardless of geographical access to resources.”
