The goal of collaborative is to develop modules through Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles that can be adapted and/or implemented in secondary mathematics education methods courses to enhance and improve students’ clinical experience opportunities within their preparation program by engaging the mentor teacher. Our modules are open access available and free for use through our Canvas materials course page.

The SMP Module is designed to provide teacher candidates and mentor teachers a bidirectional, shared experiences to better understand the SMPs and their relevance to impactful teaching.
This module is fully completed and available for use. Questions about implementation can be directed to Jan Yow. |
The LP Module is designed to discover teacher candidates’ preconceived beliefs about lesson planning and move them towards a greater understanding of the components of high-quality lesson plans embedded in the Mathematics Teaching Practices (MTPs) designed to engage students in the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs).
This module is fully completed and available for use. Questions about implementation can be directed to Jeremy Zelkowski & Patrice Waller. |
The Feedback Module is designed to provide teacher candidates with opportunities to develop knowledge in effective practices for providing student feedback that is constructive, critical, and equitable. The focus is on learning to provide rich and appropriate feedback to students based on the mathematical goals of the lesson/activity. This module is working towards a final revision and is expected ready for use Fall 2020.
This module is fully completed and available for use. Questions about implementation can be directed to Belinda Edwards. |
The Task Writing Module is built around a mathematical letter writing exchange between middle and secondary teacher candidates and high school math students. Teacher candidates seem to better understand mathematics and are better able to understand their penpals’ interests, attitudes, and learning progression.
This module is nearing a phase or sharing beyond the development team. Questions can be directed to Holly Anthony. |
