Rigorous Math Courses for Middle-School Math Teachers

Abstract

"We describe our five-year professional development project targeting middle-school math teachers. A primary focus of the project is providing the teachers with a deep conceptual understanding of the mathematics taught in the middle grades. Our analyses to date indicate a positive impact on the teachers' conceptual knowledge, their math knowledge for teaching, and their self-efficacy for teaching mathematics to diverse student populations. Preliminary findings also suggest a positive impact on teachers' classroom practices."
