Stein, Remillard, & Smith (2007)

Handbook chapter from the Second handbook of research on mathematics teaching and learning by Mary Kay Stein, Janine Remillard, and Margaret Smith.

Detailed Chapter Summary

Stein, Remillard, and Smith open their chapter with comments on the growth of research in the area of curriculum use. The 1992 NCTM *Handbook* did not include a chapter on this topic, but the emergence of new curricula following the 1989 NCTM *Standards* spurred a greater research interest in curricula and how they influence student learning. Also, the Child Left Behind requirement that federal funds only be spent on curricular materials shown to be effective drove curriculum developers to prove their materials had a positive effect on student learning.
