Session Type: Symposium
Mathematics-focused classroom observation instruments have been used to describe and analyze instructional practice, measure teaching and teacher quality, and support teacher learning through professional development. Research on observation tools considers their validity and reliability but seldom includes the perspectives of the users of these instruments and how these perspectives relate to their use. This symposium brings together five groups of scholars to explore user perspectives around one classroom observation instrument focused on equitable teaching in mathematics across contexts and research projects. The papers in this session consider both who is a “user” of one set of observation rubrics and how those users perceive the rubrics and the practices they measure.
