This is a two year project funded by the National Science Foundation’s Discovery Research K-12 (DR K-12) Program. The overarching goal of this exploratory proposal is to launch and study an innovative way to examine professional development offered to K-12 mathematics teachers. The project aims to: (a) clarify constructs and frameworks used in the design of MPD; (b) empirically test a definition of what constitutes a model for MPD; and (c) organize existing reports about mathematics professional development according to the models used in the design of the professional development.
