\u003cp\u003eThis resource will help school leaders and other professional development providers conduct ongoing, structured learning opportunities for mathematics teachers (K\u0026#8211;12). The authors present models for professional development and the preparation of PD leaders designed and field-tested as part of two research projects supported by the National Science Foundation. The Problem-Solving Cycle model and the Mathematics Leadership Preparation model focus on topics of primary interest to mathematics teachers\u0026#8212;mathematics content, classroom instruction, and student learning. They are intentionally designed so that they can be tailored to meet the needs and interests of participating teachers and schools. Through engaging vignettes, the authors describe the models, summarize key research findings, and share lessons learned. The book also includes detailed examples of workshop activities for both teachers and PD leaders.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Features:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\u003cli\u003eSupports teachers\u0026rsquo; learning and teaching of math in line with current reform principles.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDevelops math teachers\u0026rsquo; capacity to foster students\u0026rsquo; learning of the CCSSM content and practices.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePrepares teacher leaders to facilitate professional development.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIllustrates the use of video as part of professional development.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes examples of workshop activities for teachers and teacher leaders.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026ldquo;This book presents an approach to teacher professional learning that integrates many popular ideas in the field, such as teacher leadership, evidence-based practice, and teacher learning communities. It avoids the superficiality that plagues so many treatments of these themes, offering readers depth, substance, detail, and clarity. This will surely be a valuable resource for educational leaders and professional development specialists seeking research-based ways to assist teachers to engage effectively in ambitious mathematics instruction that enables students to understand mathematics deeply and to use it effectively to solve problems.\u0026rdquo;Â \u003cbr /\u003e \u0026#8212;\u003cstrong\u003eEdward A.
