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…

Integrating digital pedagogy in mathematics can change teaching and learning. Globally, education institutions adopted digital pedagogy during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. However, mathematics teachers in rural schools encounter many challenges when embracing digital pedagogy. This article focuses on a study of mathematics teachers'…

The purpose of this action research study was to develop and implement common formative assessments for mathematics teachers to inform instructional practices. To address the purpose of this action research study, the following research questions guided this study: 1. How can the district instructional leadership team support professional learning…

Even though students in the United States have varying access to an equitable education, education is commonly regarded as the greatest equalizer. The achievement gap impacts students such as African Americans, Hispanics, and other minorities. Addressing the achievement gap in mathematics and other content areas has grown more crucial as the…

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-…

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 report derives its findings from Summer/Fall 2023 phone interviews with 22 facilitators and eight administrators following their participation in Math for All during the 2022-23 school year. The findings, summarized below, provide insight into the implementation experience, including challenges, areas of success, and plans for sustaining and…

University Teaching Experience for Mathematics Prospective Teachers (UTEMPT), an NSF-funded collaborative project, has implemented an innovative version of early field experiences in order to provide preservice mathematics teachers an opportunity to make a meaningful connection between methods-course-content and teaching practices in a college…

This mixed methods experimental study examined the impacts of the Early College High School model on students' college readiness in mathematics measured by their success in college preparatory mathematics courses in the 9th through 11th grades, and disaggregated for academically prepared and underprepared students. This study looked at the…

The purpose of this participatory action research (PAR) project was to support teachers to integrate play as a primary pedagogy in the math program. The theory of action was: If teachers develop a mathematical program integrating play pedagogy, then teacher capacity will expand to support the implementation of play in math instruction. I conducted…

Research about response to intervention (RtI) programs has primarily focused on the elementary level, and there is a noticeable lack of research specific to secondary mathematics RtI programs. As such, the focus of this qualitative study was secondary algebra teachers' perceptions and self-efficacy for the implementation of RtI. Research…

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.…

Background/Context: Developing strong number sense and additive reasoning in the early grades is a critical foundation for success in school and beyond. Longitudinal studies show that early competence with number and operations predicts later math achievement, reading achievement, high school retention rates, and employability and wages in…

This workbook is a companion to the "Community Math Night Facilitators' Toolkit. REL 2022-120" (ED615952), a comprehensive resource for elementary school educators to plan and implement a Community Math Night. A Community Math Night brings together educators, students, and their families to: (1) learn about, talk about, and have fun with…

In conjunction with the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and governors across the nation, the initial drafts of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) were introduced in 2009 with the final draft being released in 2010. With a goal of eliminating stagnant academic progress, the Standards were written to outline precisely what…
