NON ACADEMIC ELECTRONIC ITEMS (INCLUDING CELL PHONES)

Cell phones and non-academic electronic items will be referred to as “electronic items.”

The university classroom is an electronic item free area. Using any electronic device for text messaging, receiving or sending a message or listening to any recording during a university class is completely inappropriate classroom behavior. Electronic items should remain turned completely off and should remain completely out of sight at all times throughout all of your classes. “Quiet” or “vibrate” settings are not turned completely off. Electronic items may not be used for any reason during class or during exams and quizzes. Electronic item use during exams or quizzes will be treated as cheating and you will receive a zero score on that exam or quiz.

Note: If you are in an emergency situation in which you need to have your cell phone on quiet; please speak to me about it before class.

NCTM Standards
Both of the texts used for the 211, 212, 213 series integrate the use and study of the NCTM Standards.

In Mathematics for Elementary Teachers: A Conceptual Approach

Tables of the NCTM Standards and Expectations are found on the inside covers of the book.
The NCTM Standards appear frequently throughout the text to link the content and pedagogy to the NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics to the mathematics studied in the text.
Each chapter is opened with a Spotlight on Teaching and takes a close look at specific elements of the NCTM Standards that relate to the material that will be covered in the chapter.
In the Making Connections exercises in each section, students are asked to carefully review and discuss various elements of the text's pedagogy, such as the NCTM Standards.

In Mathematics for Elementary Teachers: An Activity Approach

Tables of the NCTM Standards and Expectations are found in an appendix at the end of the book.
At the end of each activity set there are questions that ask students to relate the activities in the activity set to the Expectations in the NCTM Standards and some questions ask students to explore features of the NCTM web resources
