TE-MAT Essays
During the development of the TE-MAT database we asked a number of experienced professional development providers to share their thinking on some aspects of the design, implementation, and evaluation of professional development for mathematics and science teachers.
Some chose to talk about a single program in-depth. Others focused on a single program addressing a particular purpose, such as helping teachers understand student thinking. Still others shared their thoughts on critical issues that cut across all professional development efforts, such as ensuring equity or evaluating quality and impact.
The essays currently included in the TE-MAT website are listed below,
alphabetically by author. A list of the essays
with abstracts is also available. Materials cited in the essays that
have been reviewed by TE-MAT are linked to their reviews. As resources
permit, we will continue to add essays to this set. Professional development
providers who are interested in writing essays are encouraged to contact
TE-MAT for information.
