The Role of the Mathematics Specialist in Albemarle County Public Schools, Virginia
Abstract
"As our nation recognizes the increasing need for Mathematics Specialists in elementary and middle schools, it is of value to examine what effects may already be seen in some of Virginia's schools and school divisions where such Specialists have begun this important work. While an increasing number of the Commonwealth's school divisions have already begun to embrace and fund initiatives to put Mathematics Specialists in their schools, other divisions are in a state of transition toward that goal, and are demonstrating efforts that reflect their collective energies as they think outside the box. The following is an account of some of the supporting work currently being done in Albemarle County Public Schools in central Virginia."
