Testing the Feasibility of Preparing Elementary Mathematics Teachers to Teach the Common Core

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Description for Program

We describe the outcomes of testing a hypothesis, arising from a previous large-scale study, with far-reaching policy implications: If preservice elementary teachers do not spend enough time studying a mathematics topic, they are significantly less prepared to teach it well.
