If a system is a functionally related set of elements, then we have no system for teaching mathematics to U.S.
teachers. We have courses and programs, but they do not operate in an organic fashion. In this talk, I address
four questions: Who teaches? What mathematics? To whom? And how? Abandoning any attempt to be
comprehensive, I make observations and raise issues arising from each question so as to provoke some thought
on how we mathematics teacher educators and developers might improve our practice. Just as mathematics
teachers need a coherent vision, so do we.
