Contents & structure of this package

Brief reminder on the nature, contents, structure and suggested use of this package

This multi-media package has been designed to support teacher educators in the planning and implementation of professional development programs about teaching mathematics through inquiry. In the table below, we have briefly summarized the main parts of this package and their suggested use:

Section Contents Location Pages Suggested use

A Description of proposed program "framework" and its rationale; overview of package contents and structure. Book & CD 14 READ FIRST, as it can guide the use of the rest of the package.

B Images of teaching math through inquiry. Videos 1&2 View suggested video segments and read sections in the book before proceeding further, so as to better understand the goals and philosophy of proposed program.

Brief articulation of pedagogical and teacher education principles informing the proposed framework. Book & CD xx

Additional suggested readings on these principles. CD-rom only yy

C Narrative accounts of two implementations of the proposed framework (in an in-service and pre-service context); further information on other framework implementations. Book & CD 33 Choose narrative account closest to the reader's own context, and read it before proceeding to D, so as to get a "big picture" of how the program can play out; consult schedules later as needed to support the planning of own program.

Schedules of each framework implementation. CD-rom only ~35

D Description of suggested activities within each component of the proposed framework. Book & CD ~100 Read first in its entirety the description of each framework component provided in the book, so as to prepare a first preliminary overall plan for the program; consult selected materials on CD-rom later, as needed to support the detailed plan and implementation of specific activities.

Additional materials to support the planning and implementation of each activity (including: information on logistics, facilitators' plans, instructional materials, samples of participants' work and participants' feedback).
CD-rom only

+ Videos
~1000

E Description of nature and role of materials created for the participants. Book & CD 5 Read in preparation to introducing these supporting materials to the participants; duplicate and distribute booklets to each participant.

Masters of materials to be duplicated for each participant. Tessellation and Area "Supporting materials for teachers" ~100 each

F Summary evaluation of selected implementations of the proposed program, plus suggestions for the readers to conduct their own evaluation. Book & CD 18 Read main text when and as interested in the evaluation of this program; use data on CD-rom to conduct own evaluation if interested.

External reviews and evaluation data. CD-rom only ~300
