This holistic, mixed-methods action research case study aimed to determine the influence of professional development on participants' mathematical teaching practices and how the changes influenced students' opportunities for discourse. In this two-year study, participants engaged in two professional development phases and implemented new…

Modeling with mathematics (MP4) is a mathematical practice standard that can be used to engage students in mathematical content standards as well as additional mathematical practice standards. Research has shown the benefits of mathematical modeling (e.g., Aguirre et al., 2019; Cirillo et al., 2016a), but also the challenges teachers can face…

The EU-funded project "Supporting Mathematics and Science Teachers in Addressing Diversity and Promoting Fundamental Values" (MaSDiV) (2017-2020) promoted inquiry-based learning as a pedagogy that supports diverse and multicultural classrooms. This project included the design of a professional development (PD) programme for teachers.…

The aim of this study is to develop a descriptive framework for teacher educators to assist teachers to plan and realize modelling implementations in their classrooms and for researchers to describe and analyse how modelling is implemented. The planning process and implementations of 12 middle and high school mathematics teachers who conducted…

Information about program implementation provides critical information for the interpretation of results from randomized trials. The present study provides an evaluation of the implementation of a Cognitively Guided Instruction mathematics teacher professional development as part of a large scale randomized controlled trial with teachers in first-…

This study examines how a mathematics professional learning (PL) program can contribute to building the capacity of local facilitators to implement PL designed to make high-quality instruction accessible to all students. Thirty-one local facilitators were trained in the use of the Math for All PL program and implemented it over one school year.…

Purpose: The aim of this study is to illuminate the perceptions of the essential factors for sustaining Learning Study of the curriculum leaders who have led Learning Study in schools over a sustained period. Design/methodology/approach: This study adopted a case study research approach to explore the perspectives of the curriculum leaders…

Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) is a teacher PD program that has been found to have a potentially positive impact on student learning in mathematics through randomized controlled trials. Through a series of grant-funded projects led by FSU, approximately 2,000 Florida teachers have participated in CGI-based professional development in the…

This study explored what was entailed in implementing a professional development (PD) designed in the United States (US) to a different, Israeli, context. To achieve this goal, the first step was empirically examining the effectiveness of such a PD using quantitative methods. We then examined which adaptations were made in the imported PD and at…

This study aimed to determine the impact of the Math Matters Program on student achievement in third- and fourth-grade math and to understand leaders' perceptions of the Math Matters Program. Researchers analyzed end-of-year or spring Northwest Evaluation Association and Measures of Academic Preparation math results across treatment and control…

Modern researchers focus on spiritual and moral education only of children, particularly in the humanities. In this study, we develop and implement a program for the spiritual and moral education of 24 mathematics teachers aged between 30 and 65 years and assess its effectiveness. The program's effectiveness was assessed based on previously…

The need for culturally responsive mathematics professional learning (PL) has increased; however, there is not a clearly defined process for the design and facilitation of culturally responsive mathematics PL, especially as it relates to outside consultants. Each school district is unique in its cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity, which adds…

Evidenced-based mathematics interventions are critical for supporting students with mathematics difficulties. In research and practice, collecting implementation fidelity is important for ensuring that all the core components of the intervention are implemented as designed. Historically, implementation fidelity has been defined as multi-faceted…

Teachers' support in implementing the standards for mathematical practice has been an area of study since the implementation of the Common Core state standards initiative. The research problem was a gap in the literature regarding what teachers perceive as the supports needed to implement the Common Core standards for mathematical practice in the…
