Beyond
Tool Training
Professional Development
for Elementary Math Teachers
By Cathy Miles Grant
|
Elementary math teachers
learn that
through collaboration with their peers and with the
support of a
comprehensive schoolwide approach to professional
development, they
can deepen their understandings of mathematics, teaching,
and learning
while enhancing their information technology
skills.
