This timely book provides support for secondary mathematics teachers learning how to enact high-quality, equitable math instruction with dynamic, mathematics-specific technologies. Using practical advice from their own work as well as from interviews with 23 exceptional technology-using math teachers, the authors develop a vision of teaching with technology that positions all students as powerful doers of mathematics using math-specific technologies (e.g., dynamic graphing and geometry applications, data exploration tools, computer algebra systems, virtual manipulatives). Each chapter includes sample tasks, advice from technology-using math teachers, and guiding questions to help teachers wi...
When Critical Multiculturalism Meets Mathematics details the development and outcomes of a teacher professional development project that merged multiculturalism and mathematics. In six compact chapters the authors describe the impetus for their multi-year project and present rich case studies of nine teacher participants. The cases stand alone as compelling reading, yet Marshall et al. extend beyond their distinctiveness to explain the statistical data related to the project’s broader impact. Emphasizing both qualitative and quantitative findings makes this bookideal for novice researchers interested in mixed method study. Likewise, the authors unveil the anatomy and a few complexities of ...
The impact of digital technologies in education has called for teachers to be prepared to facilitate their students’ learning through communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. In order to create ideal learning environments for their students, teachers must develop a more integrated knowledge for infusing digital technologies as learning tools, a knowledge referred to as TPACK. The Handbook of Research on TPACK in the Digital Age provides innovative insights into teacher preparation for the effective integration of digital technologies into the classroom. The content within this publication represents the work of online learning, digital technologies, and pedagogical strategies. It is designed for teachers, educational designers, instructional technology faculty, administrators, academicians, and education graduate students, and covers topics centered on classroom technology integration and teacher knowledge and support.
This practical resource offers a classroom-tested framework for secondary math teachers to support students who struggle. Teachers will explore an often-overlooked piece of the math achievement puzzle: the gatekeeping cycles of mathematics and the importance of teachers' own expectations of students. The immediately applicable strategies in this book, developed through the author’s work as a math intervention teacher, intervention specialist, and instructional coach, will give teachers the tools to help students overcome math anxiety, retention struggles, and even apathy. Beginning with a deep dive into the gatekeeping cycles to help teachers better understand their students who struggle, ...
The digital age provides ample opportunities for enhanced learning experiences for students; however, it can also present challenges for educators who must adapt to and implement new technologies in the classroom. The Handbook of Research on Transforming Mathematics Teacher Education in the Digital Age is a critical reference source featuring the latest research on the development of educators’ knowledge for the integration of technologies to improve classroom instruction. Investigating emerging pedagogies for preservice and in-service teachers, this publication is ideal for professionals, researchers, and educational designers interested in the implementation of technology in the mathematics classroom.
This new volume of The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) Professional Book Series is a critical and timely resource that paves the way and guides the future of mathematics teacher education. The collection of work in this AMTE Handbook of Mathematics Teacher Education reflects on research and what we know about how best to prepare and support both mathematics teachers and mathematics teacher educators and presents what is happening in the field. Examples included in the 22 chapters highlight how we are preparing teachers across multiple contexts (e.g., within district, in content courses for the major) and grade ranges (K-20+) and all chapters highlight relevant connections...
Decades of theory, research, and practice have singled out sense of belonging (in its many derivative forms) as a pivotal component of healthy development: psychologically, socially, culturally, academically. The human need for belonging, and therefore its essential nature, have been well established across multiple arenas. Despite growth in this field, answers to the barriers to belonging among marginalized groups and contexts remain especially elusive. For decades, this work was anchored primarily in dominant, whitestream lenses and contexts. Therefore, the authors attempt here to highlight the responsibilities of systems and individual actors to meaningfully adapt and intentionally make s...
A collaboration between a seasoned math teacher and a research mathematician, this resource offers balanced instructional ideas based on student intellectual engagement and skilled teacher leadership. It is solidly grounded in many areas of classroom practice, but rather than serving as a prescriptive how-to manual, the authors invite reflection and discussion across classrooms and math departments, much in the way you would share ideas in the teachers’ lounge or across the table at a conference. Chapters offer practical suggestions and concrete examples to teachers of grades 6–12 on just about every aspect of the job: manipulatives, technology, lesson planning, group work, classroom dis...
This resource supports Middle School Physical Education teachers in promoting healthy activity levels among their students, both in and outside the PE facilities. Its comprehensive curricular approach addresses National Physical Education standards but, unlike traditional curricula, encourages teaching sports and fitness as connected components instead of separate. This book is rooted in the progressive Sport Education model, which facilitates students’ personal growth with the learning of individual and team sports. Fitness programming and cooperative activities are key aspects of this program. Unique to this book is a section detailing what to do if students have not yet learned movement...
