Cada año, los nuevos profesores de matemáticas secundarias ocupan puestos en escuelas intermedias y secundarias. Los novatos más afortunados reciben ayuda de un entrenador o mentor: un maestro de matemáticas que hace comentarios constructivos, modela enfoques efectivos e ilumina otros aspectos prácticos de la enseñanza de matemáticas secundarias. Pero muchos maestros nuevos no tienen esta ventaja y deben promover su desarrollo por sí mismos. Si eres uno de estos profesores, este es el libro que necesitas.
En estas páginas, los veteranos educadores de matemáticas Alfred S. Posamentier, Daniel Jaye y Stephen Krulik presentan un cofre del tesoro de ideas para guiar a los nuevos profesores de matemáticas secundarias durante los desafiantes primeros meses y también proporcionar a los profesores más experimentados alternativas interesantes a los métodos familiares. Los temas cubiertos incluyen
* Las prácticas de instrucción más efectivas
* Los mejores usos del libro de texto.
* Diseñando lecciones exitosas
* Crear tareas que promuevan el aprendizaje.
* Incorporando desafío.
* Enseñar razonamiento y resolución de problemas.
* Estrategias de evaluación y calificación
* Ideas innovadoras específicas para enseñar conceptos clave
* Opciones para actividades extracurriculares.
* Enriquecimiento y crecimiento profesional a largo plazo.
Es durante los primeros años de experiencia de un profesor que desarrolla los hábitos, métodos, procedimientos y técnicas que tienden a definir una carrera. Prácticas ejemplares para profesores de matemáticas secundarias proporciona tanto una base para la excelencia como una piedra de toque para los próximos años.
Alfred S. Posamentier is professor of mathematics education and dean of the School of Education at the City College of the City University of New York. He has authored and co-authored several resource books in mathematics education for Corwin Press.
Stephen Krulik is professor of mathematics education at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he is responsible for the undergraduate and graduate preparation of mathematics teachers for Grades K-12, as well as in the inservice training of mathematics teachers at the graduate level. He teaches a wide variety of courses, among them the History of Mathematics, Methods of Teaching Mathematics, and the Teaching of Problem Solving. Before coming to Temple University, he taught mathematics in the New York City public schools for 15 years, where he created and implemented several courses designed to prepare students for the SAT examination. Nationally, Krulik has served as a member of the committee responsible for preparing the Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics of the National Council of Teacher of Mathematics (NCTM). He was also the editor of the NCTM s 1980 yearbook Problem Solving in School Mathematics. He is the author or co-author of more than 20 books for teachers of mathematics, including Assessing Reasoning and Problem Solving: A Sourcebook for Elementary School Teachers. He has served as a consultant to and has conducted many workshops for school district throughout the United States and Canada, as well as delivering major presentations in Austria, Hungary, Australia, and international professional meetings, where his major focus is on preparing all students to reason and problem-solve in their mathematics classroom, as well as in their lives. Krulik received his BA degree in mathematics from Brooklyn College of the City University of New York, and his MA and EdD in mathematics education from Columbia University s Teachers College.
