This third volume of the International Handbook of Mathematics Teacher Education focuses on teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and others who work to provide effective learning opportunities for teachers, with emphasis on describing and analysing their engagement in mathematics teacher education collaborations and contexts from various perspectives.

Participants in Mathematics Teacher Education: Individuals, Teams, Communities and Networks addresses the “who” question of mathematics teacher education. The authors focus on the various kinds of participants in mathematics teacher education, professional development and reform initiatives.

The Handbook of Mathematics Teacher Education, the first of its kind, addresses the learning of mathematics teachers at all levels of schooling to teach mathematics, and the provision of activity and programmes in which this learning can take place. It consists of four volumes. Volume 2, Tools and Processes in Mathematics Teacher Education, focuses on the “how” of mathematics teacher education.

The Handbook of Mathematics Teacher Education, the first of its kind, addresses the learning of mathematics teachers at all levels of schooling to teach mathematics, and the provision of activity and programmes in which this learning can take place. It consists of four volumes. Volume 4 of this handbook has the title The Mathematics Teacher Educator as a Developing Professional.

This second edition of the International Handbook of Mathematics Teacher Education builds on and extends the first edition (2008) in addressing the knowledge, teaching and learning of mathematics teachers at all levels of teaching mathematics and of mathematics teacher educators, and the approaches/activities and programmes through which their learning can be supported. It consists of four volumes based on the same themes as the first edition. VOLUME 1: Knowledge, Beliefs, and Identity in Mathematics Teaching and Teaching Development Despina Potari, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece and Olive Chapman, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada (eds.) This volume addresses the "what" of mathematics teacher education. Authors attend to knowledge for mathematics teaching, teaching development, teacher beliefs and identity, and relationships among them. As well as synthesizing research and practice over various dimensions of these areas of teacher education, the volume offers valuable insights on best practice for teacher educators and researchers, university decision makers, and those involved in systemic policy development on teacher education. paperback: 978-90-04-41886-8, hardback: 978-90-04-41885-1, ebook: 978-90-04-41887-5 VOLUME 2: Tools and Processes in Mathematics Teacher Education Salvador Llinares, University of Alicante, Alicante, Spain and Olive Chapman, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada (eds.) This volume addresses the "how" of mathematics teacher education. Authors share their invaluable experience in employing different tools from a variety of perspectives in mathematics teacher education. This accumulated experience will assist teacher educators, researchers in mathematics education and those involved in policy decisions on teacher education and professional development in making decisions about both the tools and the processes to be used for various purposes in mathematics teacher education. paperback: 978-90-04-41897-4, hardback: 978-90-04-41895-0, ebook: 978-90-04-41896-7 VOLUME 3: Participants in Mathematics Teacher Education Gwendolyn M. Lloyd, Pennsylvania State University, Pennsylvania, USA and Olive Chapman, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada (eds.) This volume addresses the "who" of mathematics teacher education. Authors focus on the development of participants in mathematics teacher education through diverse professional learning opportunities in schools, universities, and community settings. They consider prospective and practising teachers as well as teacher educators and researchers as learners and explore how particular collaborations and contexts offer support for participants' learning. The volume offers valuable insights into how these participants work together within and across boundaries and contexts for mathematics teacher education to generate rich opportunities for professional development. paperback: 978-90-04-41922-3, hardback: 978-90-04-41921-6, ebook: 978-90-04-41923-0 VOLUME 4: The Mathematics Teacher Educator as a Developing Professional Kim Beswick, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia and Olive Chapman, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada (eds.) This volume addresses the "what", "how" and "who" of mathematics teacher educator education. Authors attend to knowledge, learning, and roles of teacher educators working with teachers in teacher education processes and practices. They share practical, professional and theoretical perspectives of different approaches/activities and programmes that can support mathematics teacher educator learning to promote effective teacher education practice, with valuable implications for future research. paperback: 978-90-04-42420-3, hardback: 978-90-04-42419-7, ebook: 978-90-04-42421-0

Knowledge and Beliefs in Mathematics Teaching and Teaching Development addresses the “what” of mathematics teacher education, meaning knowledge for mathematics teaching and teaching development and consideration of associated beliefs.

The audience remains much the same as for the 1992 Handbook, namely, mathematics education researchers and other scholars conducting work in mathematics education. This group includes college and university faculty, graduate students, investigators in research and development centers, and staff members at federal, state, and local agencies that conduct and use research within the discipline of mathematics. The intent of the authors of this volume is to provide useful perspectives as well as pertinent information for conducting investigations that are informed by previous work. The Handbook should also be a useful textbook for graduate research seminars. In addition to the audience mentioned above, the present Handbook contains chapters that should be relevant to four other groups: teacher educators, curriculum developers, state and national policy makers, and test developers and others involved with assessment. Taken as a whole, the chapters reflects the mathematics education research community's willingness to accept the challenge of helping the public understand what mathematics education research is all about and what the relevance of their research fi ndings might be for those outside their immediate community.
