Leatham, Keith R.; Peterson, Blake E. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
When student teachers and cooperating teachers have conversations during the student teaching experience, research indicates that they spend considerable time talking about classroom management. In an effort to focus student teaching on the practice of eliciting, understanding and using student mathematical thinking, we altered the structure of…

Peterson, Blake E.; Corey, Douglas L.; Lewis, Benjamin M.; Bukarau, Jared – Mathematics Teacher, 2013
In this article, mathematics teachers in the United States were asked what constitutes a high-quality mathematics lesson. The returned responses varied greatly. This same question was asked of Japanese teachers also. For a clearer picture both American and Japanese teachers were directed to comment on videotaped mathematics lessons taught in both…

Leatham, Keith R.; Peterson, Blake E. – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2010
This article reports on the results of a survey of 45 secondary mathematics cooperating teachers' perceptions of the primary purposes of student teaching and their roles in accomplishing those purposes. The most common purposes were interacting with an experienced, practising teacher, having a real classroom experience, and experiencing and…

Corey, Douglas L.; Peterson, Blake E.; Lewis, Benjamin Merrill; Bukarau, Jared – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2010
Previous research gives evidence that Japanese mathematics teachers "may have a more detailed and widely shared theory about how to teach effectively" when compared to their U.S. counterparts (Jacobs & Morita, 2002). This study explores the conceptions and cultural scripts of a group of Japanese mathematics teachers by analyzing the…

Peterson, Blake E.; Williams, Steven R. – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2008
Student teaching (guided teaching by a prospective teacher under the supervision of an experienced "cooperating" teacher) provides an important opportunity for prospective teachers to increase their understanding of mathematics in and for teaching. The interactions between a student teacher and cooperating teacher provide an obvious mechanism for…

Peterson, Blake E. – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2005
The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) reports that the mathematics teaching in Japan is distinctly different from that found in the United States. They attribute part of that difference to the professional development practice of Lesson Study. However, is the pre-service preparation of Japanese mathematics teachers also…
