Understanding the Complexities of Mathematics Coaching: What Multiple Theoretical and Analytical Frameworks Reveal

Sun, April 16, 8:00 to 9:30am CDT (8:00 to 9:30am CDT), Swissôtel Chicago, Floor: Lucerne Level, Alpine II

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The work of mathematics coaching is complex, involving both coaches as actors in organizations attempting to achieve goals and coaching as a set of practices intended to promote teacher learning. Precisely because coaches and coaching sit at the confluence of varied goals, roles, and practices, research has employed diverse theoretical and analytic lenses to conceptualize, operationalize, and interpret coaching. This symposium explores what the field can learn about mathematics coaching by deliberately taking up multiple theoretical and analytic frameworks by bringing together six groups of mathematics education scholars who do so. The panelists will explore theoretical and analytic frames for understanding the (1) relational, (2) interactional, and (3) systemic work of coaching. Implications for researchers and practitioners will be discussed.
