Mathematics Education
The Center for Proficiency in Teaching Mathematics (CPTM)
CPTM, the Center for Proficiency in Teaching Mathematics, aims to strengthen the system of professional education that supports teachers of mathematics throughout their careers. It is a National Science Foundation-funded Center for Learning and Teaching involving the University of Georgia and the University of Michigan. Working with teacher educators from 2- and 4-year higher education institutions, mathematicians, professional developers, teacher leaders, and graduate students in mathematics education and mathematics, we focus on two questions:
- What mathematical knowledge and skill is needed for effective teaching of mathematics?
- How can teachers develop and learn to use this knowledge and skill in their professional practice?
