Developing Math Teachers' Knowledge and Skills to Engage in Leadership
Abstract
"The Math TLC has designed a math teacher leadership program based on defining leadership as taking responsibility for what is important to you and on the recognition that the work of teacher leaders varies in scale and scope from mentoring a student teacher to holding an office in a national organization. This session highlights what that means for program and teacher leader development and provides information about the four focus areas of the program (exploring teacher leadership, working with teachers, impacting students' understanding of mathematics, and analyzing interactions among culture, mathematics teaching and learning)."
