Abstract:

Looking at students’ work has increased in popularity in mathematics teacher professional development as a promising means of supporting teachers’ learning (Ball & Cohen, 1999; Kazemi & Franke, 2003; Little, 2003). Because students’ work constitutes an indispensable aspect of teachers’ instructional practices, it is typically considered to help relate teacher professional development directly to teachers’ daily practices (Ball & Cohen, 1999). However, up to this point, little conceptual work has been done to articulate the theoretical underpinning of this approach. In this paper, I draw on my experience working with a group of middle-school mathematics teachers to begin to conceptualize this issue and more broadly, the issue of supporting teachers’ learning across the setting of professional development and the classroom.
