CERME Antalya Approaching Professional Learning: Teachers' Goals Peter Liljedahl

CERME Antalya History Noticing (Liljedahl, 2010; Mason, 2002) Distinct difference between the groups of teachers that came willingly and the teachers that were required to attend. BIRS (2010)  Liljedahl, P. (in press). What teachers want. The Mathematics Enthusiast.

CERME Antalya Motivation … there is a growing realization that what is actually offered within these programs is often based on facilitators (or administrators or policy makers) perceptions of what teachers need as opposed to actual knowledge of what teachers really want (Ball, 2002).
