Professional Development for Culturally Relevant Teaching and Learning in Pre-K Mathematics

University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison)

09/01/2010

This project is creating and studying a professional development model to support preK teachers in developing culturally and developmentally appropriate practices in counting and early number. The proposed model is targeted at teachers of children in four-year-old kindergarten, and focuses on culturally relevant teaching and learning. The model stresses counting and basic number operations with the intention of exploring the domain as it connects to children's experiences in their homes and communities.
