“Professional Development of Mathematics Teachers: An Asian Perspective … offers a rich source of information on mathematics teacher development in Asia, including training and support for practicing teachers. … The book is highly academic and therefore full of theories, data, analysis, and insight. It also has lots of informative and descriptive tables and figures. … the book is put together primarily for researchers, policy makers, and mathematics teacher educators as a tool for policy and academic discourse.” (Woong Lim, MAA Reviews, maa.org, May, 2017)
