Project TIAN (Teachers Investigating Adult Numeracy)
Welcome to the TIAN web site. TIAN is a professionaldevelopment initiative developing a model for standards-based mathematics professional development for adult basic education teachers.
The TIAN Website
- introduces the goals and activities of the project,
- gives background information,
- describes the mathematical content,
- presents some exciting examples of what participating teachers have been learning and doing with their students,
- and shows how teachers connect their classroom instruction to their state standards.
The four-year project at the Center for Literacy Studies at the University of Tennessee and TERC, a Cambridge, Massachusetts non-profit educational organization, is funded by the National Science Foundation.
