Summary "Mathematics Teachers in Transition addresses the need for professional development leaders and policymakers for scholarly knowledge that influences teachers to bring mathematical instruction more in alignment with the recommendations of the current reform movement initiated by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The book presents theoretical perspectives for studying, analyzing, and understanding teacher change; descriptions of contextual variables to be considered when studying and attempting to understand teacher change; and descriptions of professional development programs that resulted in teacher change."--BOOK JACKET
