de Araujo, Zandra; Orrill, Chandra Hawley; Jacobson, Erik – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
While there is considerable scholarship describing principles for effective professional development, there have been few attempts to examine these principles in practice. In this paper, we identify and examine the particular design features of a mathematics professional development experience provided for middle grades teachers over 14 weeks. The…

Behmke, Derek A.; Atwood, Charles H. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2013
To a first approximation, human memory is divided into two parts, short-term and long-term. Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) attempts to minimize the short-term memory load while maximizing the memory available for transferring knowledge from short-term to long-term memory. According to CLT there are three types of load, intrinsic, extraneous, and…
