Characterizing Teacher Vision Through a Lens of Care

• In Event: Theorizing Pre-service Teacher Education

Description

In this paper we provide a brief synthesis of the research on teacher vision and teacher care that prompted us to develop a lens of care through which we can view teachers' visions of mathematics instruction. This paper is structured in three parts. First, we synthesize literature related to teacher vision to argue for the need for a more robust characterization of vision within mathematics education. Second, we synthesize literature related to teacher care and show its ability to be used to characterize teacher vision. Finally, we present and discuss a diagram that can be used to view instructional vision through a lens of care.
