The Demana-Waits Scholarship for Future Teachers is named for mathematics professors Frank Demana and Bert Waits. Both led the early use of handheld educational technology in mathematics education at Ohio State University and co-founded Teachers Teaching with Technology™ (T3™), one of the world's leading professional development organizations for educators.
"Demana's and Waits' commitment to educational handheld technology and tailored professional development has benefited teachers and greatly impacted a generation of students," said Richard Schaar, past president of the Educational & Productivity Solutions business for TI. "Their vision for teacher training is the foundation for TI's goal of providing teachers, new and experienced, with the tools and resources they need to be successful in the classroom and prepare the leaders of tomorrow."
TI awards the Demana-Waits Scholarship for Future Teachers to students who plan to pursue a teaching career in mathematics. It provides a vital source of financial support and is meant to serve as a bridge to help students initiate academic pursuit toward the acquisition of a degree in mathematics. More information is available from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. |
