Each of the papers in this anthology has focused on a dimension of the process entailed for teachers as they embark on the project of moving their teaching toward that envisioned in the NCTM Standards-the impact of the nature of teachers' mathematical knowledge on their visions for teaching, the role of affect in the process of change; the essential characteristics of helpful materials, and the issues to be addressed in developing a teacher community that supports investigation into practice. The existence of the set of papers invites "conversation" about the relationships between these elements: What role does affect play in teachers' developing mathematical sophistication? How can materials help teachers become better mathematicians? Does the presence of a supportive culture enhance both the expression of affect and mathematical growth? and so on.
