Educational Theory and Practice in Teaching Mathematics 1

This course is designed to provide a clinical experience and resources that will support the development of math MAT students teaching at Brown Summer High School. Through interactive activities, readings, and class discussions, the class will explore key elements and challenges of secondary mathematics teaching and provide a foundation for continued growth and reflection throughout the students’ teaching careers. Topics will include standards, reform-based approaches to instruction and assessment (including fostering mathematical thinking in students through use of active pedagogy), unit/lesson planning, analyzing student work to improve teacher practice, and the use of technology in mathematics teaching.
