Teachers must come to teaching with the experience of in-depth
study of the subject area themselves. Before a teacher can develop powerful pedagogical tools, he or she must be familiar with the progress of inquiry
and the terms of discourse in the discipline, as well as understand the relationship between information and the concepts that help organize that information in the discipline. But equally important, the teacher must have a
grasp of the growth and development of students’ thinking about these
concepts. The latter will be essential to developing teaching expertise, but
not expertise in the discipline. It may therefore require courses, or course
supplements, that are designed specifically for teachers.
