Description
A recently released National Science Board report noted: The development of our nation's human capital through our education system is an essential building block for future innovation. Currently, the abilities of far too many of America's young men and women go unrecognized and underdeveloped, and, thus, they fail to reach their full potential. One of the first steps in building youth’s capacity in STEM areas is building teachers’ capacity to teach the STEM content. This presentation shares a framework used to increase elementary students’ opportunity to learn mathematics by building teachers’ mathematics content and pedagogical content knowledge.
