Standard P.4. Opportunities to Learn in Clinical Settings
An effective mathematics teacher preparation program includes clinical experiences that are guided on the basis of a shared vision of high-quality mathematics instruction and have sufficient support structures and personnel to provide coherent, developmentally appropriate opportunities for candidates to teach and to learn from their own teaching and the teaching of others. |
P.4.1. Collaboratively Develop and Enact Clinical Experiences P.4.2. Sequence School-Based Experiences P.4.3. Provide Teaching Experiences With Diverse Learners P.4.4. Recruit and Support Qualified Mentor Teachers and Supervisors |
Effective preparation programs of beginning early childhood teachers of mathematics include clinical experiences, in both preschool and primary settings, that are exemplar sites in equitable early mathematics learning. These sites illustrate responsive interactions with children individually, in small groups, and as a class.
