| Abstract | This study aims to understand from literature and from teacher perspectives the features of an effective professional development program for teacher learning and the essential instructional elements and activities for teaching with conceptual understanding. The goal was to produce a set of professional development modules on linear functions that were useful for a sample of Delaware middle school teachers. My hypothesis was that the deficiency in textbooks for teaching with understanding can be bridged by providing professional development materials for teachers that motivate them to learn about and think from students' perspectives, and to implement lesson plans and activities in the classroom that help promote teaching for conceptual understanding. I analyzed textbooks used by these teachers, identified deficiencies that could be addressed by supplemental modules, created the modules based on the research literature, and asked teachers for feedback about the modules. Professional development materials that these teachers found useful include components for predicting student thinking, learning by doing, relatable examples, applications, and explanations. The modules, together with this information, can be used to solve a critical problem for these teachers as they move toward conceptually oriented teaching.
