Supporting Pre-service Mathematics Teacher Development through Transformative Community Engagement

Opportunities for field-based transformative learning are a critical part of mathematics teacher education, yet several factors limit the extent to which teacher preparation programs can offer them. This paper discusses the value of transformative learning for pre-service mathematics teachers and presents an example of an international community engagement program that was specifically designed to support transformative learning for pre-service teachers in both the United States and South Africa. It highlights evidence of key aspects of transformative learning in the reflections of both the pre-service teachers and the students in the program and discusses the implications of this for future research and program development.
