  In Poster Session: An Analysis of Recommendations for Mathematics Content Courses for Prospective Elementary Teachers

Description

We analyzed ten recommendation and policy documents for the preparation of elementary teachers, specifically focusing on mathematics content courses. We looked at recommendations for the number of courses offered, which mathematical topics should be covered, and any recommendations for how the content should be delivered. Our poster will present a summary of the recommendations as well as discuss the feasibility for implementing them across teacher preparation programs.
