More on content

First, nice poster! I think your work on content knowledge is quite
interesting, and your thinking does fit well with Deborah's keynote.
Deborah points out that we need to identify the content knowledge that
is actually *needed* for practice. I think what you are finding is that
teachers must be part of figuring this out. Once teachers understand
exactly what kind of knowledge they need to teach their curriculum,
then I think they will be motivated to learn it. Just knowing that they
don't "know" algebra won't motivate them unless they can see how it
would be useful in their classrooms.
