Tools and Routines for Preparing STEM Teachers

Session Submission Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

In this symposium we examine how to support the development of novice mathematics and science teachers in adopting ambitious and equitable practices. Our collective work is based on three assumptions about teacher learning: 1) novices need a clear image of practices that support student reasoning; with well-crafted routines novice teachers can learn to attend to students’ developing ideas, not just performing practices, 2) instructional tools, when used as in combination with routines function as a resource for accelerating teacher learning of ambitious and equitable classroom discourse, 3) focusing STEM instruction on a core set of high-leverage practices provides critical grounding for a system of performance improvement for early career educators.
