Newsletter | Fall 2012 Newsletter
Dear Colleagues: This is our first "formal" opportunity to welcome new DR K-12 PIs, and welcome back those of you who we haven't seen since the June PI Meeting. Thanks to all who participated in making this one of the most successful annual meetings. From evaluations, it appears that many of you perceived a good balance of small and large sessions; feedback sessions and collaborative…

Blog | Crossroads at the 2012 DR K-12 PI Meeting
Battling isolation is a continual challenge for science and math educators. As a novice science teacher, the closing of the classroom door effectively cut me off from all support systems. Later, as a university teacher educator, my interests in school-based teacher preparation isolated me from campus-bound traditions. And now, as a PI of an NSF project I realize that running a grant-funded…

Resource | Videobased lesson analysis: Effective science PD for teacher and student learning
The Science Teachers Learning from Lesson Analysis (STeLLA) project is a videobased analysis-of-practice PD program aimed at improving teacher and student learning at the upper elementary level. The PD program developed and utilized two “lenses,” a Science Content Storyline Lens and a Student Thinking Lens, to help teachers analyze science teaching and learning and to improve teaching practices…

Resource | Towards an Empirically Grounded Theory of Action for Improving the Quality of Mathematics Teaching at Scale
Our purpose in this article is to propose a comprehensive, empirically grounded theory of action for improving the quality of mathematics teaching at scale. In doing so, we summarize current research findings that can inform efforts to improve the quality of mathematics instruction on a large scale, and identify questions that are yet to be addressed. We draw on an ongoing collaboration with…
