Connected Mathematics is a standards-based curriculum
that develops deep mathematical understanding as well as reasoning and
skill. To achieve full capacity implementation, teachers must develop the
knowledge and experience to use such materials to engage students in
appropriate ways.
The focus of professional development for teachers implementing Connected Mathematics is to enable teachers to learn
mathematics content and pedagogy needed to plan their instruction
around the curriculum.
Teachers will be trained based upon local
needs. Teachers need to experience inquiry-based pedagogy in their
professional development that will serve as a guide for their own
teaching. In addition, teachers need to be involved in sufficient
conversations about teaching problem-centered materials to feel
comfortable during implementation.
