This section of the book highlights the education of the mathematics teacher educator in several ways. In this chapter, the focus is on the education of the educator through his or her involvement in reflecting on or researching his or her own practice. Two ways are considered in addressing this focus: educators as reflective practitioners and educators as researchers.
