Over the last decade, significant growth has occurred within undergraduate mathematics education research. Research, development projects, professional conferences, and policy documents have generated and shared knowledge about people learning to be college mathematics instructors. Central to effective development of new college instructors are the Providers, people who support professional growth in teaching in activities such as seminars and workshops. Providers are critical to sharing the knowledge generated by research. Little is known about who becomes a Provider, why they do, and the knowledge needed for being a good Provider. The positions held by Providers vary locally according to departments' needs. Only recently have Provider professional communities (Wenger et al., 2002) emerged. This editorial offers insight into projects, resources, and findings around Providers and the contributions Providers make in shaping future improvements in undergraduate mathematics instruction.
