About the Author

Antonia Cameron is the CEO and co-founder of reimaginED, a coaching organization devoted to improving teaching and learning in mathematics. Her current interests are on revitalizing early childhood math learning as well as finding ways to develop transformative feedback cultures in schools. As part of this work, she is facilitating learning communities focused on (1) the role of the principal in providing effective feedback; (2) the power of the teacher-student conference (helping teachers develop ways of conferring with students to allow for productive struggle); and, (3) the role of coaching in developing teacher leadership and leadership networks. Her recent publication, Agents of Change, How Content Coaching Transforms Teaching, co-authored with Lucy West, is used nationally as a tool to mentor coaches and other leaders.

Toni has served as Co-Director with Cathy Fosnot of Mathematics in the City (MitC), a national center for professional development at City College of the City University of New York. As co-principal investigator of an NSF-funded project, she co-authored the fifteen facilitator-guides that were part of the Young Mathematicians at Work CD-ROMs. She and her colleagues cultivated an extraordinary capacity to develop student learning in the teachers they coached. In addition, she co-authored two units ("Games" and "Muffles' Truffles") in the curriculum, Contexts for Learning published by Heinemann.

Toni is in demand as a coach of coaches by educational coaches across the USA and Canada. She has presented nationally and internationally at such conferences as NCSM, NCTM, AMTE, NSDC and ICME.
