The Development of Teacher Leaders and Inservice Teacher Educators

This article discusses the development of teacher leaders and inservice teacher educators whose role it is to promote teacher learning about mathematics teaching in the process of changing school mathematics. The Manor Program for the development of teacher leaders and teacher educators is used as a vehicle for addressing this issue. The article focuses on aspects of curriculum design, discusses the theoretical rationale for the learning opportunities provided by the program, and considers several problematic aspects encountered.
