CALL TO ACTION
Who should lead mathematics instruction at the elementary school level? A case for mathematics specialists
Barbara J Reys, Francis Fennell. Teaching Children Mathematics. Reston: Jan 2003.Vol.9, Iss. 5; pg. 277
Abstract:
The lack of attention to substantive mathematics preparation, coupled with the questionable quality or appropriateness of the mathematics courses taken by preservice elementary teachers, provides little chance of changing teacher' beliefs about mathematics or inspiring them to teach differently from the way they were taught. The mathematics component of preservice elementary education must be examined if real change is to occur at the elementary school level.
