This course is designed to bring together graduate level pre-service K-12 teachers and special education professionals interested in examining the roles and responsibilities of all "stakeholders" in school mathematics reform. Specifically, the course will examine promising practices in teaching and assessing school mathematics as these relate to students constructing their own mathematical knowledge.

Course uses a constructivist approach to explore critical topics and methods in education that are directly linked to a practicum experience. Topics include: focused classroom and student observations; classroom management; Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks; lesson planning and implementation; assessment practices; special education; and instructional technology.

Field experience under the tutelage of a University supervisor and a cooperating teacher in an approved setting
