Personal story telling is a powerful and interesting medium through
which one can share experiences, insights, successes, and
difficulties in meaningful contexts. Teaching in general, and
mathematics teaching in particular, is much more than what meets
the eye. Most people have only experienced teaching from the
vantage point of a student and have impressions of teachers and
teaching that are simplistic and usually totally incorrect. The
lives of mathematics teachers are varied and contrary to what one
might think they are. The journeys of exemplary in-service teachers
are not linear; there are many bends, potholes, and detours through
which they have navigated. The ""road conditions"" of teaching are
fodder for the 12 untold stories collected in this volume, whose
authors graduated from a special four-year undergraduate
mathematics teacher preparation program, containing innovative
components, many of which are revealed through the experiences
described in their stories. The range of narratives vary in every
possible way, from the reasons they became mathematics teachers, to
the number of years teaching, to the experiences encountered while
teaching, to the different roles they have assumed throughout their
careers. Nevertheless, one strand permeates all of the stories:
their passion for what they do and their ability to reflect on
early college experiences that contribute to their performance.
These inspiring narratives will shed light on the developmental
processes of mathematics teachers, what it means to teach
mathematics, and the components of a secondary mathematics teacher
preparation program that can contribute to their expertise.
