A Symposium of Innovative Attempts Toward Incremental Change for Mathematics Teachers

Sat, April 11, 11:45am to 1:15pm PDT (11:45am to 1:15pm PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: Ground Floor, Gold 2

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Transformational professional development (PD) for mathematics teachers has proven challenging to enact successfully and the instructional changes promoted therein have proven difficult to spread widely. In this symposium, five groups of scholars report on and discuss a variety of attempts to create PD that is more incremental in nature. A main objective of the session is for attendees to learn about variations in incremental PD approaches and some projects’ results thus far. The session also aims to spur thoughts about how incremental PD might complement existing transformational PD efforts and identify empirical questions that would be fruitful to pursue with regard to incremental PD. Critiques and discussion of drawbacks to the described approaches will be explicitly encouraged.
