AMTE's new volume in the Professional Book Series, The Mathematics Teacher Education Partnership: The Power of a Networked Improvement Community to Transform Secondary Mathematics Teacher Preparation, is now available. This book provides an overview of a body of work conducted over the past seven years related to the preparation of secondary mathematics teachers by the Mathematics Teacher Education Partnership (MTE-Partnership), a national consortium of more than 90 universities and 100 school systems. The MTE-Partnership is organized as a Networked Improvement Community (NIC), which combines the disciplined inquiry of improvement science with the power of networking to accelerate improvement by engaging a broad set of participants. The MTE-Partnership is addressing key challenges in secondary mathematics teacher preparation, including:

  • Supporting the development of content knowledge relevant to teaching secondary mathematics;
  • Providing effective clinical experiences to teacher candidates;
  • Recruiting secondary mathematics teacher candidates, ensuring program completion and their subsequent retention in the field as early career teachers;
  • Supporting overall transformation of secondary mathematics teacher preparation in alignment with these challenges;
  • Ensuring a focus on equity and social justice in secondary mathematics teacher recruitment, preparation, and induction.
