Theorizing Collaborative Mathematics Teacher Learning in Communities of Practice

  • Theorizing Collaborative Mathematics Teacher Learning in Communities of Practice

    Nicole A. Bannister

    Persistent disconnects within and among education research, practice, and policy are limiting the reach of professional mathematics teacher communities, one of the most promising levers for humanizing mathematics teaching and learning in schools. An overarching goal of this commentary is to convince the field of mathematics education to broaden its research agendas beyond individual classrooms to teacher collectives so that our combined efforts have a greater positive impact on how people experience mathematics in and out of school.
