Excerpt
This book provides an overview of a body of work conducted over the past seven years related to the preparation of secondary mathematics teachers by the Mathematics Teacher Education Partnership (MTE-Partnership), a national consortium of more than 90 universities and 100 school systems. The MTE-Partnership is organized as a Networked Improvement Community (NIC), which combines the disciplined inquiry of improvement science with the power of networking to accelerate improvement by engaging a broad set of participants. The MTE-Partnership is addressing key challenges in secondary mathematics teacher preparation, including:
- Supporting the development of content knowledge relevant to teaching secondary mathematics;
- Providing effective clinical experiences to teacher candidates;
- Recruiting secondary mathematics teacher candidates, ensuring program completion and their subsequent retention in the field as early career teachers;
- Supporting overall transformation of secondary mathematics teacher preparation in alignment with these challenges;
- Ensuring a focus on equity and social justice in secondary mathematics teacher recruitment, preparation, and induction.
