Abstract	This case study provides an account of one teacher's background, experiences, and perceptions as she has changed curriculum, teaching approaches and methods, and professional roles in consequence of her experiences in the Memphis Urban Mathematics Collaborative. Data are descriptive and presented from the perspective of the teacher. The discussion is organized around three major areas: (1) the work context in school and classroom; (2) personal interrelation to the context of the work, the teaching of mathematics, and related professional issues and concerns, including family relations; and (3) the Collaborative activities and their influence personally and professionally upon the teacher. Experiences included learning how to integrate computers into advanced classes and receiving financial support to attend national conferences that made her take a different approach to her career as a professional leader, workshop instructor, curriculum developer, and a teacher.
