Abstract

This presentation describes the design of a short professional development course for prospective mentors of mathematics teachers. A case vignette approach that promoted the use of topic specific mathematics education research was employed, as a means of supporting the course participants critically reflect on, and become explicit about their own teaching practices. We present and discuss the various components of the course, and account for how such a design served the purpose of supporting the participants to become introspective of their ability to provide explanations and examples in future mentor-mentee discussions, that place subject matter teaching and its relation to students at the heart of such conversations.
