Scholars from Sweden, France, Malawi, Singapore, New Zealand, Brazil, the USA, and Canada provide insights for the mathematics education community's understanding of how teacher educators structure, develop, and implement their respective mathematics teacher education programs. Several themes emerged across the chapters, including: varied approaches to developing culturally responsive pedagogies and\/or Indigenous perspectives; issues and challenges in fostering partnerships and collaborations; strategies for developing mathematics knowledge for teaching; and preparing flexible and resourceful teachers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eInternational Perspectives on Mathematics Teacher Education\u003c\/i\u003e explores different facets of mathematics teacher education in eight countries across five continents. The authors and editors answer important questions and open the door to critical conversations about policies and practices related to mathematics teacher recruitment, preparation, and professional development, among other topics. Every reader will develop new perspectives as they learn how one institution is engaging with Indigenous perspectives while other countries struggle with an insufficient supply of certified teachers. This book clearly demonstrates challenges, constraints, nuances and complexities to initiating and maintaining improvement across systems to enhance the work and spaces of mathematics teachers within different historical, cultural, social, and political contexts. This volume also generates ideas and opportunities for leaders, policymakers, and teacher educators to consider and learn from international colleagues about different approaches to mathematics teacher education practice and policy. Undoubtedly, debates about standards, content and experiences in programs, and accountability structures such as accreditation will continue. It is clear from the insights in this volume that strengthening mathematics teacher education will require stronger collaborations, frameworks, policies, infrastructure, and investments on a global scale and it will be critical to collaborate with and learn from colleagues in international settings. These conversations will require reciprocity, interdependence, and resilience as we pursue the ultimate goal of equipping the field of mathematics teacher education.\"\"- Kathryn Chval, Dean, College of Education, Professor of Mathematics Education, University of Illinois Chicago\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuestions Facing Mathematics Teacher Education: An Introduction to the Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Crosscurrents of Swedish Mathematics Teacher Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeacher Training in Mathematics in France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathematics Teacher Education in Malawi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathematics Teacher Education in Singapore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathematics Teacher Education in Aotearoa New Zealand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducation of Teachers who Teach Mathematics in Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathematics Teacher Education in the United States with a Focus on Innovations in Recruitment and Equitable Instructional Practices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathematics Teacher Education in Canada: Emerging Possibilities in Engaging with Indigenous Perspectives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflections on Commonalities and Challenges in Mathematics Teacher Education Across Eight Countries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Information Age Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359936119127,"sku":"9781648026294","price":47.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781648026294.jpg?v=1754126166","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/international-perspectives-on-mathematics-teacher-education-9781648026294","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
