Using Practice as a Site to Learning Mathematics for Teaching: Developing Materials, Approaches and Professional Community

这个为期五年的项目是在TPC项目征集的B类（全面开发项目）下提交的。它的目的是建立资源，帮助教师以可用于教学工作的方式学习数学内容。将开发两个以实践为中心的包，用于K-8数学教师的专业教育。这些软件包将可供现有的教师开发人员使用。每个包将包括选择的实践记录和资源，以供教师使用。教师教育工作者是一个多样化的受众，但有足够的共同点，这些材料将满足每一部分受众的需求。这项工作将是项目团队在过去十年中所做工作的延伸。八步工作计划包括内部试点和两轮现场测试，每轮测试之后都会进行修订。评估将包括在形成性和总结性环境中从教学和数学的角度对材料进行考试。传播将与技术密切相关。材料将发布在网络上，供合法使用的自由访问。将利用密歇根大学和佐治亚大学的资源利用其他高质量格式和传播材料。此外，还将通过与nsf赞助的CLTand LSC项目、专业组织和国家数字数据库的联系进行发布。

This five-year project is submitted under category B (full development projects) of the TPC program solicitation. It is designed to build resources for helping teachers learn mathematical content in ways usable for the work of teaching. Two practice-centered packags will be developed for use in the professional education of K-8 teachers of mathematics. The packages will be usable by the existing range of teacher developers. Each package will comprise selections of records of practice and resources for their use with teachers.Teacher educators are a diverse audience, but with enough in common that the materials will address the needs of each segment of this audience. The work will be an extension of work done by the project team over the last decade. An eight-step work plan includes in-house piloting and two rounds of field testing, each followed by revision. Evaluation will include examinations of the material from both pedagogical and mathematical points of view, in both formative and summative environments.Dissemination will be closely linked to technology. Material will be posted on the web, with liberal access for legitimate use. Other higher-quality formats will be utilized and materials disseminated using the resources of the Universities of Michigan and of Georgia. In addition, dissemination will be announced through connections with NSF-sponsored CLTand LSC programs, professional organizations and national digital databases.
