Standard C.1. Mathematics Concepts, Practices, and Curriculum

Effective teachers have deep understandings of the mathematics they are expected to teach and exhibit positive dispositions toward both mathematics teaching and learning. Such understandings and dispositions are particularly critical for early childhood teachers because they develop the foundation of mathematical understanding, beliefs, and attitudes among young learners that start children on their mathematical journeys. Therefore, we have a critical elaboration of this standard for the preparation of early childhood teachers of mathematics.
