Teachers and teacher educators play a critical role in the improvement of mathematics education. Recommendations for appropriate teacher support can be gained from examining the Teaching Principle in the document, Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 2000), as well as earlier recommendations from the Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics (NCTM, 1991). This paper discusses implications of the recommendations for preservice teacher preparation, the continuing professional development of teachers, and mathematics teacher certification policy.
