A volume in Research in Mathematics Education Series Editor Barbara
J. Dougherty, University of Mississippi The purpose of this book is
to document the work of the Show-Me Project (1997-2007) and to
highlight lessons learned about curriculum implementation. Although
the Show-Me Project was charged with promoting the dissemination
and implementation of four distinct comprehensive curriculum
programs (Connected Mathematics, Mathematics in Context, MathScape,
and MathThematics), most of the lessons learned from this work are
not curriculum specific. Rather, they cut across the four programs
and share commonalities with standards-based curriculum reform at
any level. We believe that documenting these lessons learned will
be one of the legacies of the Show-Me Project We anticipate that
the comprehensive nature of this work will attract readers from
multiple audiences that include state and district mathematics
supervisors, middle grades mathematics teachers and administrators
involved in curriculum reform, as well as mathematics teacher
educators. Those about to embark on the review of curriculum
materials will appreciate reading about the processes employed by
other districts. Readers with interests in a particular curriculum
program will be able to trace the curriculum-specific chapters to
gain insights into how the design of the curricula relate to
professional development, adoption and implementation issues, and
teachers' personal experience using the curriculum materials.
Individuals who provide professional development at the middle
grades level will find chapters that they can use for both general
and focused discussions. Teachers at all stages of implementation
will recognize their own experiences in reading and reflecting on
the stories of teacher change. Mathematics educators will find
ideas on how these curricula can be used in the preparation of
preservice middle grades teachers.
