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?
