Subject: Re: The best Master's program in mathematics education

I was very fortunate when I decided to get  mathematics certification
because the University of New Orleans had a phenomenal team of educators
pass through its halls at the time!  If I had the money and time, I would
attend Columbia University and work under Henry Pollak, Ph.D. for my Ph.D.
in mathematics education!

On a realistic note, several universities offer certification programs for
professionals in content areas to join teaching. Harvard is one of them!

There are programs in several needy areas, like the Delta of Mississippi
where your entire expenses are paid, but you teach in the really needy areas.

Another possibility is to contact the National Consortium of Secondary
Schools in Science, Mathematics and Technology to get a list of the
Mathematics/Science schools across the country. You do not need a teaching
degree to teach them. You are required to have am master's degree in some
area, though, to teach at one. I am not sure which one would be closest to
you?
