Mon, April 12, 4:30 to 6:00pm EDT (4:30 to 6:00pm EDT), Division K, Division K - Section 1 Paper and Symposium Sessions 2

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session addresses the nature of beginning elementary teachers’ instructional practices in mathematics and reading/language arts, challenges they face in attempting to enact ambitious instruction in equitable ways, resources that support such efforts, and how preparation experiences are associated with their enactment of ambitious instruction as first- and second-year teachers. This session brings together five papers from the same longitudinal, mixed-methods study of elementary teacher preparation in five universities in three states; the papers collectively draw on a range of data sources and employ multiple research methods to explain how to support beginning teacher development across content areas and how to prepare them to enact ambitious instruction in ways that help all students acquire disciplinary knowledge and conceptual understanding.
