Mathematics Professional Development
This resource will help school leaders and other professional development providers conduct ongoing, structured learning opportunities for mathematics teachers (K-12).

They are intentionally designed so that they can be tailored to meet the needs and interests of participating teachers and schools. Through engaging vignettes, the authors describe the models, summarize key research findings, and share lessons learned. The book also includes detailed examples of workshop activities for both teachers and PD leaders.
