Περίληψη: In recent years, there has been a growing demand for professional development opportunities for teachers. To meet this demand, the education community must have access to professional development programs that are scalable and sustainable, and to large numbers of effective PD leaders. In this seminar I will address these issues. I first present the Learning to Facilitate Framework – a model for the preparation and support of PD facilitators that was developed by a team of scholars from Germany, Israel and the United States. The LTFF highlights four pedagogies of facilitator preparation programs: selecting a central task of facilitating professional development, representing the practices that comprise the task, approximating these practices, and unpacking the representation and approximation. To illustrate this framework, I analyze a facilitator preparation session from my program of research on the Problem-Solving Cycle model of professional development that focuses on the central PD task of leading video-based discussions. I then suggest possible uses of the Problem-Solving Cycle and Learning to Facilitate Framework to design and research facilitator professional development, including strategies for addressing diversity and equity in mathematics classrooms.
