ABSTRACT
After almost a decade of availability of
mathematics reform curricula created with support of the National
Science Foundation and based on the NCTM Standards, high school
mathematics teachers in Chicago continue to face an uphill struggle in
making their mathematics classes an environment for a challenging,
engaging and successful experience for the majority of students. The
Chicago Mathematics Improvement Project (CSMIP) has worked for the
past 5 years providing workshops and ongoing support for teachers
using the Interactive Mathematics Program. We will look at teachers'
comments on how this experience has affected their teaching and how
they envision the challenges they currently face. Dr. Small was
co-Principal Investigator of CSMIP.
