Episode 2405: Practice-Driven Professional Development Project - Incremental PD

Math Ed Podcast

Zandra de Araujo (University of Florida), Amber Candela (University of Missouri, St Louis), and Paul Wonsavage (University of Florida) join Sam Otten (University of Missouri, Columbia) to discuss their NSF-funded project entitled Practice-Driven Professional Development (PDPD). They share thoughts on why they are pursuing an incremental approach rather than a transformational approach in supporting math teachers.
