Skultety, Lisa; Saclarides, Evthokia Stephanie; Bajwa, Neet Priya; Brown, Karie; Poetzel, Adam; Gerardo, Juan Manuel – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
We, six elementary mathematics teacher educators (MTEs), noticed that many of our elementary pre-service teachers (EPSTs) were limited by their views of mathematics, typically as the result of their prior experiences with learning mathematics. Much of the research around such limiting views focuses primarily on negative experiences or treats such…

Stickles, Paula R. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2015
Often secondary mathematics methods courses include classroom peer teaching, but many pre-service teachers find it challenging to teach their classmate peers as there are no discipline issues and little mathematical discourse as the "students" know the content. We will share a recent change in our methods course where pre-service…
