Additional Expectations
Other expectations of doctoral studies in the mathematics program may include but are not limited to the following:
- Attend and present at local conferences (e.g., Alachua Council of Teachers of Mathematics), state conferences (e.g., Florida Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Critical Issues in Education), and national conferences (e.g., National Council of Teachers of Mathematics)
- Complete and submit manuscripts to mathematics education journals (e.g., Dimensions in Mathematics, School Science and Mathematics, NCSM’s Journal of Mathematics Education Leadership, NCTM’s Teaching Children Mathematics, Mathematics in the Middle School, ot The Mathematics Teacher) and other education publications (e.g., ENC Focus, Teaching & Learning, Action in Teacher Education, Florida Journal of Educational Research)
- Co-facilitate and engage in professional development workshops for teachers of mathematics
- Teach undergraduate mathematics education courses
- Supervise preservice teacher interns
- Assist in the research, service, and teaching program of the mathematics education faculty
- Be active with the graduate student organizations in the College and with at least one professional organization in mathematics education
- Facilitate own professional growth through scholarly endeavor (e.g., book reviews, literature reviews) and other doctoral committee-specific assignments (e.g., development of personal mathematics education portfolio)
Timeline for Completion of the Doctoral Program
Of course, the planned program of study for each doctoral student is different. There are many variables that determine how long it will take a student to complete a doctoral program (e.g., course load, adherence to the planned program, factors related to dissertation research, etc.) On average, students can expect to complete the doctoral program in 3-4 years with full-time enrollment during the fall, spring, and summer terms.
