Recensione

"A valuable contribution to the field. Good mathematics teaching begins with a thoughtful analysis of important mathematical ideas, and effective mathematics professional development begins with thoughtful analysis of mathematics teaching. These materials both acknowledge the complexity of the work and provide a carefully designed and sequenced curriculum for understanding it." (Lew Romagnano, Professor of Mathematical Sciences 2006-09-20)

"These materials demystify important aspects of professional development leadership and provide scaffolded learning opportunities to develop and apply skills for planning, facilitating, and assessing professional development in mathematics. As a leadership curriculum, this method dispels the idea that effective leaders of professional development are born, not made." (Barbara Miller, Director 2006-09-25)

"Provides a curriculum based in authentic learning situations to strengthen professional development. Leaders will consider and study the many complexities of developing learning communities that deepen understanding of mathematics." (Shelley Kim Ferguson, Board of Directors Member 2006-08-31)

"Helps develop a broad skill set to create a powerful learning experience for professional developers. Carroll and Mumme focus on the practical application of their materials and provide deep and robust content, useful tools and resources, and a strong research base." (Janice Bradley, Project Coordinator 2006-09-30)

"The most usable, unique, and rigorous professional development tools to come along for mathematics. An effective professional development tool to nurture teacher leaders." (April Cherrington, Mathematics Coordinator 2006-08-30)

"Mathematics leaders will find these materials unique in that they are designed specifically to help professional developers. We learn to be effective professional developers through viewing, analyzing, and reflecting on actual professional development situations and applying that perspective to our own practice." (Linda Gojak, President 2006-11-07)
