“Noticing for Equity”: What Is It, and How Can It Be Developed?

Fri, April 25, 9:50 to 11:20am MDT (9:50 to 11:20am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 2H

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Scholars argue that teacher noticing is crucial, and research reviews suggest that it can be cultivated - and impact teachers’ instructional practices. There is ample agreement that noticing involves the processes of perception, interpretation, and decision-making, but there has been a call for research on political, racial, and ethnic aspects of teacher noticing. This symposium contributes by investigating the concept of “noticing for equity”: What is it, and how can teacher education and teacher professional development contribute to its development? The symposium features four papers addressing "noticing for equity" in different ways, ranging from a scoping review of the concept, and three papers investigating pedagogies for, and outcomes of equity-oriented noticing in teacher education and teachers’ professional development.
