From classroom to coach: One teacher's journey
The December issue of Primarily Math News reported on an article by Tara Zuspan that appeared in the October 2013 issue of Teaching Children Mathematics. Recently, we discovered another article about a teacher's journey from the classroom to coaching that appeared in the September 2013 issue of Teaching Children Mathematics. Our readers may want to read this article and compare her experiences with those of Tara.
In addition to differentiating and developing curriculum, this teacher's transition to coaching in an early-childhood setting involves a complex blend of mentoring teachers, teaching students and discovering resources. Read more in this month's free preview article in Teaching Children Mathematics, NCTM's school journal for elementary teachers, students, and teacher educators.
