PRIME: Promoting Reflective Inquiry in Mathematics Education
The PRIME: Promoting Reflective Inquiry in Mathematics Education partnership includes Black Hills State University, Technology and Innovations in Education (TIE) of the Black Hills Special Services Cooperative, and the Rapid City School District aimed at improving achievement in mathematics for all students in Rapid City Schools with a particular goal of reducing the achievement gap between Native American and non-Native American students. Objectives include reducing the number of high school students taking non-college preparatory mathematics, increasing the number of students taking upper level mathematics, and increasing student performance on college entrance exams. The project provides 100 hours of professional development in a combination of content-based workshops at the district level and building-based activities involving modeling of effective lessons, peer mentoring, and coaching, and lesson study. Mathematics education and discipline faculty from Black Hills State University are involved with district-wide professional development activities.
