A Leader's Guide to Mathematics Curriculum Topic Study

A Joint Publication with WestEd, A Joint Publication with the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance



July 2012 | 280 pages | Corwin
The Curriculum Topic Study (CTS) process, funded by the National Science Foundation, helps teachers improve their practice by linking standards and research on how children learn mathematics to classroom practice. Keyed to the core book Mathematics Curriculum Topic Study, this resource helps mathematics professional development leaders and teacher educators understand the CTS approach and how to design, lead, and apply CTS in a variety of settings that support teachers as learners. By bringing CTS into schools and other professional development settings, mathematics leaders can enhance their teachers' knowledge of content, improve teaching practices, and have a positive impact on student learning.

Index

"This book provides an indispensable set of tools to help teachers, coaches, and other curriculum leaders strengthen and improve content and pedagogical knowledge of mathematics in a variety of professional development opportunities. I encourage all mathematics leaders to add this book to their professional tool kit."

Marilyn Curtis, Teacher Leader
Maine Governor’s Academy

“Not only does this book provide the resources mathematics leaders need to improve curriculum, instruction, and assessment; it strengthens the 'M' in STEM professional learning. When combined with The Science Leader's Guide to CTS, instructional leadership teams have access to a suite of standards and research-based designs and tools to foster connections and integrate the STEM disciplines.”

Jean May-Brett, STEM Partnership Director
Louisiana Department of Education

"This book teaches the basics of linking standards and research to mathematics practice, and is a fine companion to MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM TOPIC STUDY."
