Workshop on Research-Based Preservice Teacher Preparation: 
Using Video and Written Student Work to Support the Mathematical Preparation of Teachers


Eva Thanheiser, Rutgers University
Randy Philipp, San Diego State University

In this workshop, we will examine use of children's mathematical thinking to support the preparation of mathematics teachers.  We will share results of a large-scale study on integrating mathematics and pedagogy (IMAP) and discuss how video, written student work, and student interviews may support our teaching and research.  Although video of a sixth grader will be used to ground our discussion, time will be allocated for participants to share ways they use their own students' mathematical thinking in their teaching and research and to meet according to their levels of interest (elementary, secondary, or undergraduate).  If participants wish to engage further in discussions of their own teaching or research, we will organize sessions for the following day via the announcement page.
