The chief goals of this course are, first, to
prepare you in practical ways to be a successful
beginning teacher of mathematics, and second, to
establish a foundation on which you can build to
become a successful professional teacher of
mathematics. We will read, discuss, and participate
in activities related to all of the course strands
below. Discussions, activities, and assignments
will be integrated with your concurrent
observation/participation field experience: your
school classroom will be a laboratory where you can
observe and experiment, and our university
classroom will be a forum for sharing, analyzing,
and learning from your field experience.
The content and methods of this course reflect
current thinking about mathematics education as
expressed in NCTM's Principles and Standards for
School Mathematics. Click to see a list of
