US: Råd till matematikspecialister på lågstadiet
Den amerikanska föreningen för lärarutbildare i matematik The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) har inom ramen för ett utvecklingsprojekt tagit fram Standards for Elementary Mathematics Specialists: A Reference for Teacher Credentialing and Degree Programs.
I förordet skriver AMTE´s President Barbara Reys:
"Given the many demands and expertise required to teach all subjects of elementary school (the typical assignment of elementary classroom teachers), AMTE supports the use of elementary mathematics specialists to teach and to support others who teach mathematics at the elementary level. We believe that special expertise is required to do this job well. This expertise includes both a deep and practical knowledge of the content and pedagogy of elementary and middle school mathematics and the ability to work with other professionals to develop their mathematical knowledge for teaching The Standards outline particular knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed by elementary mathematics specialists (EMS)."
