This book gives teacher educators a collection of strategies and activities for using Standards-based curriculum materials in mathematics teacher education. In addition, the book offers personal accounts from mathematics teacher educators about how and why they use Standards-based curriculum materials in their teacher education work, as well as reflections about how their PTs learned through engagement with curriculum materials.
An invaluable resource for all mathematics teacher educators, this book compiles the different ways the mathematics teacher educators at various universities have used Standards-based curriculum materials. The chapters show how both elementary and secondary prospective teachers can enhance their disposition toward, and understanding of, NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics from both their university coursework and their intern field experiences as they analyze and enact Standards-based curriculum materials.
