Masters of Arts in Mathematics

 

Overview

 

A Masters Degree in Education with a Concentration in Mathematics Education at San Francisco State University has been in place since 1995. This degree program was created with the help of a State Eisenhower Grant to promote teacher-leaders, knowledgeable in mathematics content and pedagogy, for teaching mathematics to all students.

 

This program was developed with the needs of full-time classroom teachers in mind. Teachers will work together to:

• Increase their knowledge of mathematics
• Investigate current classroom practices
• Examine current issues in mathematics education
• Study and practice leadership skills.
