Findings: Math methods
The rating picture is brighter on mathematics methods than on mathematics content preparation: About 40 percent of undergraduate elementary programs evaluated fully met the standard, and about an equal share partially met it. Most programs that partially met this standard did so because they offer a three-semester-hour mathematics methods course, but it addresses mathematics methods for grades K-9 (due to Illinois' elementary certification grade span) and therefore cannot focus sufficiently on elementary math methods.
