VI. Los Angeles Unified School District
(LAUSD)/UCLA Collaborative Institute - LUCI : This
is a California Mathematics Professional Development Institute designed
to increase teacher competence and confidence in the mathematics they
teach, familiarize teachers with the components of their textbooks,
improve instructional skills, and address the special needs of learners.
The program has been designed to provide teachers with a cohesive, coherent,
and mature look at mathematics taught in the elementary and middle school,
and emphasis is placed on building mathematical ideas based on the student's
prior knowledge. Leadership from the University of California Office
of the President (UCOP) and funding from MPDI united members of the
UCLA Department of Mathematics, Graduate School of Education and Information
Science, the UCLA Mathematics Project, Los Angeles Unified School District
teachers and coordinators and consultants from UCOP to the develop of
this program.
