O knihe

A volume in Research in Mathematics Education
Series Editor Barbara J. Dougherty, University of Mississippi
The purpose of this book is to document the work of the Show-Me Project (1997-2007) and to highlight lessons
learned about curriculum implementation. Although the Show-Me Project was charged with promoting
the dissemination and implementation of four distinct comprehensive curriculum programs (Connected Mathematics,
Mathematics in Context, MathScape, and MathThematics), most of the lessons learned from this work
are not curriculum specific. Rather, they cut across the four programs and share commonalities with standards-based curriculum reform at any level.
We believe that documenting these lessons learned will be one of the legacies of the Show-Me Project
We anticipate that the comprehensive nature of this work will attract readers from multiple audiences that include state and district mathematics supervisors,
middle grades mathematics teachers and administrators involved in curriculum reform, as well as mathematics teacher educators. Those about
to embark on the review of curriculum materials will appreciate reading about the processes employed by other districts. Readers with interests in a
particular curriculum program will be able to trace the curriculum-specific chapters to gain insights into how the design of the curricula relate to professional
development, adoption and implementation issues, and teachers' personal experience using the curriculum materials. Individuals who provide
professional development at the middle grades level will find chapters that they can use for both general and focused discussions. Teachers at all
stages of implementation will recognize their own experiences in reading and reflecting on the stories of teacher change. Mathematics educators will
find ideas on how these curricula can be used in the preparation of preservice middle grades teachers.
