Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Math for America. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Potential COI disclosure: I work at Math for America. The following suggestions are made with the goal of improving the accuracy of this page.
The “MƒA Programs in New York City” section currently lists outdated fellowships offered by MƒA. MƒA no longer accepts applications for the MƒA Fellowship, and instead offers the MƒA Master Teacher Fellowship and MƒA Early Career Fellowship. References for the discontinuation of the MƒA Fellowship and shift to focusing on the MƒA Master Teacher Fellowship and MƒA Early Career Fellowship can be found here: [1], and additional information (though not a standalone source) can be found in an MƒA press release: [2]
I suggest removing the MƒA Fellowship description from the section.
If the MƒA Fellowship must remain included on the page, I suggest creating a new sub-section indicating “Former Programs at MƒA.”

The Fellowship program was discontinued in 2012 with the Board shifting focus towards experienced teachers rather. (insert WNYC source here) The discontinuation was announced alongside an expansion of the MƒA Master Teacher and MƒA Early Career Fellowships. (insert press release source here)

Potential COI disclosure: I work at Math for America. The following suggestions are made with the goal of improving the accuracy of this page.
The mission currently stated on MƒA's Wikipedia page, “…a mission to improve mathematics education in the United States by recruiting, training, and retaining…” is no longer correct, as we do not recruit or train teachers.
I suggest updating the language to more accurately reflect our current mission of making teaching a fulfilling and respected career choice. Reference can be found here. [1]
While not a standalone source, additional information and mention of the MƒA mission can be found here. [2]

Potential COI disclosure: I work at Math for America. The following suggestions are made with the goal of improving the accuracy of this page.
This section states MƒA provides fellowships to only secondary school mathematics teachers. Currently, the organization provides fellowships to both math and science teachers. [1] With that change the following sentence is no longer accurate: “The MƒA Master Teacher Program is a four-year program designed to retain exceptional public secondary school mathematics teachers currently teaching in New York City,” and should be changed to reflect the organization’s current offerings.
The rest of this section also makes references exclusively to mathematics teachers. This section should be updated to reflect the inclusion on science teachers.

Potential COI disclosure: I work at Math for America. The following suggestions are made with the goal of improving the accuracy of this page.
This section outlines “three key principles” of the MƒA program which are no longer current to MƒA’s mission. Instead, MƒA is guided by these four core beliefs:
1. Teaching is a true profession 2. Great Teachers are always learning 3. Excellence comes out of deep collaboration and ongoing growth 4. Honoring greatness elevates the profession
References to these four core beliefs can be found here. [1]
Also, this section includes a reference to the MƒA Fellowship, which MƒA no longer offers. References to MƒA’s current fellowships can be found here. [2]

The introduction to the Math for America page indicates the organization only provides fellowships to secondary school mathematics teachers. MƒA currently provides fellowships to K-12 mathematics and science teachers. This section should be updated to reflect MƒA’s current offerings. Reference to this change can be found here. [1]

While responding to the edit requests, I've come to find that the tone in this article is, on average, very promotional. I'll see if I can spend some more time removing some of the more puffery language. @ Jytdog:, I know you've done a lot of good work in articles where a major contributor has a COI. I'd be very interested to have your take on this. Blackmane ( talk) 08:45, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Potential COI disclosure: I work at Math for America. The following suggestions are made with the goal of improving the accuracy of this page.
Our introductory sentence is historically accurate about our mission at founding. We are hoping to update the sentence to reflect our current mission of retaining STEM teachers in the teaching profession rather than recruiting new teachers. Similar to how Teach for America and NYC Teaching Fellows' wikis includes a history section that reflects their growth over time, we are hoping to see something similar on our page.
Here are some sources that speak to our current mission of retention and forming a community of STEM teachers. [1] [2] [3] J Wiki 9 ( talk) 20:50, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
