Presentation
Background on Rehearsals ● Call for learning experiences (in both methods courses and professional development) that support teachers’ development of knowledge for teaching in conjunction with capabilities to enact core teaching practices (Grossman et al., 2009) ● Effective teacher preparation programs incorporate practice-based experiences that...
Article
Teachers can more productively use board work to scaffold joint sense making.
Article
We argue that progress in the area of research on mathematics teacher responses to student thinking could be enhanced were the field to attend more explicitly to important facets of those responses, as well as to related units of analysis. We describe the Teacher Response Coding scheme (TRC) to illustrate how such attention might play out, and then...
Article
The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in a cohort of secondary preservice teachers’ (PSTs) vision of the role of a teacher within the context of a mathematics methods course designed around pedagogies of practice. We analyzed data collected in the first and last 2 weeks of the course, consisting of recordings of small- and whole-grou...
Article
Teacher responses to student mathematical thinking (SMT) matter because the way in which teachers respond affects student learning. Although studies have provided important insights into the nature of teacher responses, little is known about the extent to which these responses take into account the potential of the instance of SMT to support learni...
Article
Read about ways to determine how your students are thinking, and then implement NCTM's mathematical teaching practices as students work on a task.
Chapter
This study examines the relationship between mathematical knowledge—evidenced by a teacher’s engagement in mathematical processes and actions on the products of those processes—displayed by a beginning secondary mathematics teacher (Fiona) in her personal mathematical problem solving and in her classroom instruction. This process and action approac...
Article
Preservice mathematics teachers are entrusted with developing their future students' interest in and ability to do mathematics effectively. Various policy documents place importance on being able to reason about and prove mathematical claims. However, it is not enough for these preservice teachers, and their future students, to have a narrow focus...
