About GeT Support

GeT (Geometry for Teachers) Support is an NSF-funded project (DUE-1725837) aimed at developing a system of professional support for the improvement of the Geometry for Teachers course that preservice secondary teachers take within mathematics departments. The project was funded in 2017 for a duration of 5 years.

Our Community: GeT: A Pencil

With GeT Support, we aim to create an inter-institutional support network (the GeT: A Pencil community) for instructors of these courses that can support collective stewardship and connection-building across individual instructors. The objective of this network is to improve instructional capacity for geometry in secondary schools.

The GRIP Lab

The GeT project is part of the GRIP (Grasping the Rationality of Instructional Practice) Lab, a research group in the University of Michigan’s Marsal Family School of Education that focuses on the teaching of mathematics and the professional preparation of mathematics teachers. The GRIP Lab conducts research and development that frequently incorporates online and multimedia tools. A wide range of current and past projects run by the group, including GeT, can be explored here.
