Professional Learning Community Resources

Researchers
A five-year project to produce a model for helping precalculus teachers to acquire
knowledge and adopt methods that research shows will improve their students' learning.
The model links a new graduate course in mathematics to professional learning
communities in the teachers' schools. ASU faculty will offer the course to high school
teachers in after-school classes in Phoenix, Chandler, Gilbert, and Tempe, and will
lead the same teachers in 60-90-minute weekly learning communities. The research
knowledge gained from the project will be turned into tools for sharing with
educators nationwide. The hundreds of Phoenix-area teachers involved in the TPC will
in turn reach 50,000 Arizona students.
