Maintaining or Enhancing Curricular Complexity: The Case of Mr. Mitchell

Tue, October 28, 2:30 to 3:15pm, Penn Stater Conference Center, Floor: Second Level, 211

Description

While curriculum materials can significantly influence instruction, teachers also play a crucial role as designers in planning and enactment. This study examines how one high school mathematics teacher’s planning practices enabled his lessons to maintain or enhance complexity. We identify multiple planning practices, such as solving problems and sequencing tasks, that are each closely tied to the curriculum materials from which he planned.
