  1. MEETING THE CHALLENGES OF CHANGEThe Math Education of Teachers Judy Sunley November 2001

  2. Implementation

  3. Challenges: The Top 5 • No one wants change but a wet baby. • The greatest enemy of the better is the good, particularly if it costs less. • There are no proofs in math education. • When there are multiple solutions, no single answer is right. • There is more to education than mathematics.

  4. Converting Challenges to Stimuli • Math community now experienced as change agents. • Where we are is not “good enough.” • Number of people is growing. • Research base supports the effort. • Grappling with really hard problems.

  5. Seeds for Further Thought (1) • Mathematical Education of Teachers • Knowledge “quite different” from that required by other students? • CBMS/MET disconnect with TIMSS? • Education of Teachers • Outside the traditional undergraduate teacher preparation paradigm? • Pre-service/in-service continuum

  6. Seeds for Further Thought (2) • Elements of Social Change Processes • Assessment • Theories, models, intermediate outcomes • Diffusion of information within and across networks • Interactions in multidisciplinary groups
