N2 - Mathematics teacher educators (MTEs) play a significant role in helping prospective teachers to develop the mathematical knowledge they need for teaching. However, research has shown that the majority of MTEs receive little to no training or support to do this important work (Masingila, Olanoff & Kwaka, 2012). To address this need, we formed a Community of Practice (CoP) where two novice MTEs worked with an experienced MTE to develop their mathematical knowledge for teaching teachers (MKTT) and improve their teaching of mathematics content courses for prospective elementary teachers. In this paper, we discuss how we formed our CoP, the MKTT that we gained from working with the CoP, and what we learned from participating in the study, and how we mutually benefited from the experience in different ways.
