Abstract

This study examines a professional development program that integrates inservice and prospective teachers to decompose the observed practice in a class associated with a summer math camp for elementary and middle school students. An embedded case study was used to analyze data from rich conversational episodes from two discussion groups over a two-week period. We report results regarding observations that reflected teaching and/or supporting students’ mathematical learning. The decomposition of practice benefited from various internal and external resources that emerged in a collaborative effort to support students in the math camp.
