Robert Weintraub, BU Wheelock senior lecturer and director of the Educational Leadership & Policy Studies program, has been named board chair of the\u00a0Calculus Project.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Calculus Project’s programs support students of color and low-income students by creating more inclusive academic settings to study calculus. Students who enter calculus in their senior year of high school are three times more likely to complete college and study STEM disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf our nation is serious about dramatically improving math education, every school district should adopt the Calculus Project,\u201d Weintraub says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weintraub has served on the Calculus Project board of directors since its founding. He worked with Calculus Project founder Adrian Mims to create the BU Calculus Project and Leadership Academy in 2015, which saw its first graduates go on to top-tier\u00a0colleges and universities.\u00a0That cohort also supported five students in passing the Massachusetts MTEL exam for middle school mathematics teachers while they were still in high school.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At BU Wheelock,\u00a0Weintraub\u00a0teaches and\u00a0advises master’s and doctoral students, and\u00a0has\u00a0developed\u00a0and led several projects, including the launch of the new EdD in Educational Leadership & Policy\u00a0Studies.\u00a0He is a longtime K\u20138 and high school principal in Lowell and Brookline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
