[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to a friend who is a professor of math education, and who has a top-notch Ph.D. in the field, Everyday Math is a good program if the teachers are fully trained in how to use it. So when you're looking at schools, you might want to ask about the extent to which faculty are actually trained to use the curriculum.[/quote] FWIW, I have two close relatives who are math teachers (middle school and high school), with 50+ years of collective experience teaching math, and they also think EDM is a good program, if teachers know how to use it. They both say the problems arise when older teachers who learned more traditional approaches to math have trouble incorporating and explaining the progressive EDM-style approaches.[/quote]
