Session Summary

Beginning Elementary Teachers' Development of Ambitious Instructional Practices in Reading/Language Arts and Mathematics

Mon, April 20, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium focuses on the landscape of resources available to beginning elementary teachers in the areas of reading/language arts and mathematics, challenges they face in trying to enact ambitious instruction, the nature of their instructional practices in both subjects, and how their teacher preparation experiences and resources in their schools are associated with their enactment of ambitious instruction as first- and second-year teachers. This session brings together five papers from the same mixed-methods, longitudinal study of elementary teacher preparation in five universities in three states; as a group, the papers draw on a variety of data sources and utilize multiple research methods to better understand how to support beginning teacher development across content areas.
