Overview
The Secondary Mathematics Education program offered by Simon Fraser University stresses the human aspects of mathematics. We emphasize the role of mathematics in society and the natural development of mathematics as a growing, changing, entity. Developments in the school mathematics curriculum, and in pedagogy, will be related to historical, cultural, and psychological forces operating within society.
Mission
The goal is to produce teachers who have a broad understanding of mathematics and mathematics education, and who will be qualified to deal with rapid curriculum change in the next several decades. To this end, the Faculty of Education and the Department of Mathematics have collaborated to develop six courses specifically for secondary mathematics teachers.
Program Format
The program is designed for a cohort of students and each course is designed to complement the other courses. Students will be accepted into the program every two years in oder to maintain continuity and develop a mode of collaborative enquiry.
