Students' reasoning should be placed at the center of effective instructional decision making and professional development

Challenges and Opportunities in Math Education Reform
The development of richer, more challenging mathematics classroom environments and learning opportunities requires simultaneous renewal of curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The Show-Me Center Project (1997-2007) promoted the dissemination and implementation of four comprehensive NSF-funded middle school mathematics curriculum programs and related professional development for teachers: Connected Mathematics, Mathematics in Context, MathScape, and MathThematics. Lessons learned from the Show-Me Project are document ted in the book, A Decade of Middle School Mathematics Curriculum Implementation (Information Age Publishing, 2008).
