Abstract

Meeting the goals of rigorous curriculum requires providing professional development (PD) that challenges existing notions of teaching mathematics. It requires nurturing shifts from teachercentered norms to classroom norms centered on student thinking. This paper reports a PD design that used after school programs, and supported student mathematical thinking and a shift towards student centered practices. Effects on student learning, as well as on teacher practices were based on analysis of classroom videos, written artifacts, curriculum materials, and field notes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
