Also available in a black + white version AMTE, in the Standards for Preparing Teachers of Mathematics (SPTM), puts forward a national vision of initial preparation for all Pre-K–12 teachers who teach mathematics. SPTM contains critical messages for all who teach mathematics, including elementary school teachers teaching all disciplines, middle and high school mathematics teachers who may teach mathematics exclusively, special education teachers, teachers of emergent multilingual students, and other teaching professionals and administrators who have responsibility for students’ mathematical learning. SPTM has broad implications for teacher preparation programs, in which stakeholders include faculty and administrators in both education and mathematics at the university level; teachers, principals, and district leaders in the schools with which preparation programs partner; and the communities in which preparation programs and their school partners are situated. SPTM is intended as a national guide that articulates a vision for mathematics teacher preparation and supports the continuous improvement of teacher preparation programs. Such continuous improvement includes changes to preparation program courses and structures, partnerships involving schools and universities and their leaders, the ongoing accreditation of such programs regionally and nationally, and the shaping of state and national mathematics teacher preparation policy. SPTM is also designed to inform assessment practices for mathematics teacher preparation programs, to influence policies related to preparation of teachers of mathematics, and to promote national dialogue around preparing teachers of mathematics. The vision articulated in SPTM is aspirational in that it describes a set of high expectations for developing a well-prepared beginning teacher of mathematics who can support meaningful student learning. The vision is research-based and establishes a set of goals for the continued development and refinement of a mathematics teacher preparation program and a research agenda for the study of the effects of such a program. SPTM contains detailed depictions of what a well-prepared beginning teacher knows and is able to do related to content, pedagogy, and disposition, and what a strong preparation program entails with respect to learning experiences, assessments, and partnerships. Stakeholders in mathematics teacher preparation will find messages related to their roles. Standards for Preparing Teachers of Mathematics includes standards and indicators for teacher candidates and for the design of teacher preparation programs. SPTM outlines assessment practices related to overall quality, program effectiveness, and candidate performance. SPTM describes specific focal practices by grade band and provides guidance to stakeholders regarding processes for productive change.

Focus of these proceedings is placed on three strands: teaching and learning, policy, and professional development. Following the opening comments, "Charge to Mathematics Educators: What We Want in Mathematics Classrooms" (Margaret B. Cozzens), individual presentations include: "It Doesn't Add Up: African American Students' Mathematics Achievement" (Gloria Ladson-Billings); "The Politics of Urban Mathematics Education" (Stephen R. Cox);"Professional Development: Finding New Ways to Support Teachers of Minority Students" (Marieta W. Harris); "The National Science Foundation's Innovative Curriculum Materials Program" (Glenda Lappan); "Assessment, Evaluation, Mathematics Education Reform, and African American Students: A Framework" (Frank E. Davis); and "When the Vision Confronts Reality: Implementing Reform in Elementary School Mathematics in an Urban School District" (Patricia F. Campbell). Breakout sessons of the three strands include the following presentations: "And from a participant ... What Will It Take for 'All' to Really Mean All?" (Idorenyin Jamar); "Transforming Policy to Enhance the Lives of African American Mathematics Students" (Jennie Bennett); "Implementing Policies for Urban Student Achievement" (Clara Tolbert); and "The Professional Development of Teachers of African American Students" (Lee V. Stiff). The proceedings end with the closing statements, "Conference Summary and Charge to the Benjamin Banneker Association: Challenges in the Mathematics Education of African American Children" (Edgar Edwards); and an epilogue, "Future Plans of the Benjamin Banneker Association" (Carol E. Malloy). (ASK)
This fifth volume in the series of yearbooks by the Association of Mathematics Educators in Singapore entitled Nurturing Reflective Learners in Mathematics is unique in that it focuses on a single theme in mathematics education. The objective is to encourage teachers and researchers to advance reflection among students and teachers in mathematics classrooms. Several renowned international and Singapore researchers in the field have published their work in this volume. The fifteen chapters of the book illustrate evidence-based practices that school teachers and researchers can experiment with in their own classrooms to bring about meaningful learning outcomes. Three broad themes, namely fundamentals, instructional tools, and approaches to teaching for nurturing reflective learners in mathematics classrooms, shape the ideas in these chapters. The book makes a significant contribution towards the learning of mathematics. It is a good resource for mathematics teachers, educators and research students.
The School Science and Mathematics Association seeks to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics and science and to promote the integration and interrelationships among these disciplines. This monograph presents 20 articles that have appeared in the association's journal, "School Science and Mathematics," between the years of 1905 and 1988 that addressed that goal. After an introduction that explains the rationale and purpose of this monograph, the articles are divided into six sections. The sections present the following: (1) three articles that discuss the interdependence of science and mathematics; (2) four articles that discuss integrating science and mathematics in the school curriculum; (3) three articles that discuss science and mathematics in secondary education; (4) four articles that discuss science and mathematics in elementary education; (5) three articles that present unifying themes in science and mathematics; and (6) three articles that discuss science and mathematics in a technological age.
