Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to present a framework for developing online professional development materials to support teachers as they adopt the Common Core standards. The framework builds conceptually from the principles associated with successful mathematics professional development on the teaching practices that support productive mathematical discourse in the classroom. The framework was applied to online materials developed from an emergent perspective (Cobb & Yackel, 1996) in the context of the Common Core fractions standards at the elementary level. Implications for the use of the framework to guide the selection, development, and implementation of mathematics professional development are discussed.
