Antonia Cameron served as Co-Director with Cathy Fosnot of Mathematics in the City (MitC), a national center for professional development at City College of City University New York. As co-principal investigator of a NSF-funded project, she co-authored fifteen facilitator guides for the Math in the City professional development series including CD-ROMS demonstrating the extraordinary teaching and learning she and her colleagues cultivated in the teachers they coached. In addition, she wrote two units (Games and Muffles’ Truffles) in the curriculum, Contexts for Learning published by Heinemann.
Ms. Cameron’s groundbreaking, rigorous and highly effective professional development model for coaches in NYC evolved from her work as Director of the math component of the New York City Department of Education’s Collaborative Communities of Practice project (2004-2006) and her creation of a collaborative coaching community (2003-2006) with Carol Teig, the Director of Mathematics in the former Region 8, Brooklyn, New York. In both projects, Ms. Cameron developed lab-site schools where hosting teachers and coaches shared their practice by opening their classrooms to participating coaches, teachers and administrators from other schools. This model of professional development is based on a lesson-study scenario where the process of planning, co-teaching and debriefing a lesson is used to examine and deepen both content and pedagogical content knowledge. Antonia’s highly effective twist to the lesson study work focuses on “coaching the coach” and conversations center on highlighting effective coaching moves that support teacher development.
Ms. Cameron is in demand as “coach of coaches” by educational coaches in districts across the USA and Canada. She has presented nationally and internationally at such conferences as NCSM, NCTM, AMTE, NSDC and ICME.

My understanding of math, and my ability to understand the math thinking of others (children and adults) has come so far! Thank you
for the tremendous part you have played in my teaching and learning! I particularly appreciated when you reminded me to slow down and think about the students thinking with "a spirit of curiosity and genuine interest. "I think for any of us who struggled with math in our own school experiences this is such powerful advice.. it's so easy sometimes to get in our own way!
Where do we begin? As we reflect back on our journey this year, we do not know how to express our gratitude for your expertise and knowledge you have shared this year. You have and continue to challenge us to think critically about mathematics, our classroom practice and student development. We are looking forward to continuing on this journey next year.
Thank you so much for an incredible year. From that very first cup of iced coffee to the last of the planning days this has been a year of tremendous impact and growth for me. Thank you for sharing your learning communities, your time, your knowledge, your talent, your resources, your insight, your passion, and your sense of humor in such a generous way. You have been an unbelievable mentor, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked so closely with you this year. Looking forward to continuing to work together as we embark on our new adventures!
I just want to thank you for all you have done for our district, the Farmers Branch teachers you have worked with, and especially me, over the last three years. I was one of those people who openly said “I was not a Math person”. Now thanks in large to you, I love mathematics and have a real passion for doing Math, teaching Math, and helping teachers develop Mathematicians. You have taught me so much and have a true talent for pushing a teacher’s thinking without making us uncomfortable. I will be forever thankful for what you taught me and will always consider you one of my mentors.
Thank you so much for your email! We feel so honored to have worked with you and we hope it doesn't end any time soon! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to present yesterday and for enabling us to turnkey everything we've learned and developed with you. We both felt so supported by you yesterday, just as we each have always felt working with you. We can't say it enough... Thank you for everything! We can't wait to work with you in the future!
