Mathematicians, scientists, and teacher educators at Vanderbilt                 University will cooperate with 15 selected exemplary classroom teachers         to develop and evaluate a model approach to the preparation of                  elementary teachers of mathematics.  A primary goal is to demonstrate           how mathematics content and pedagogy are blended in the design of               effective mathematics instruction.  Elementary teachers will help               mathematicians and mathematics educators plan instructional units and           classroom activities which the teachers will then model for videotaping         in their own classrooms.  From these demonstrations videodisc materials         will be produced.  Materials will be implemented and evaluated in the           methods of teaching course, and the preservice teachers will be placed          in the classrooms of the exemplary cooperating teachers for actual              implementation of teaching ideas.  The materials and cooperative model          are designed to ensure that participants are aware of research based            principles of effective mathematics teaching and that they have a               supportive environment in which to practice these strategies.                                                                                                   Project evaluation will include systematic formative and summative              assessments of project strategies, accomplishments, and consequences.           It is expected that university course materials, including print and            videodisc/computer components, will result.  Further, plans have been           made for disseminating the model and materials throughout Tennessee as          well as nationally.
