While multiple factors influence teacher preparation, one important component is the quality of the courses required for completion of a teaching degree. Several studies have noted the importance of engaging preservice teachers in authentic practice oriented experiences to help develop their mathematics knowledge (C. Fernandez et al., 2003; Graeber, 1999; Parks, 2007). For example, Graeber notes, “I have found that only by combining reading about common misconceptions and limited conceptions with interviewing or tutoring experiences are preservice teachers convinced of the need to understand students’ understanding” (Graeber, 1999, p. 194). This suggests a need to design courses that engage preservice teachers in practice-based experiences that help deepen their mathematics knowledge and knowledge of others mathematics understanding to better prepare them to work with students. achievement is appropriately prepared teachers.
