The Federal Government decided that math and reading test results would determine whether schools and teachers were succeeding or failing. The two main concerns of this hearing are: (1) Does the proposed accountability rule actually get the Federal Government back in the business of setting State academic standards?; and (2) Does the proposed accountability rule get the Federal Government back in the business of deciding which schools are succeeding or failing? This hearing transcript provides a prepared statement from witness John King, Secretary, U.S. Department of Education. This is followed by additional materials, namely Ensuring Equity in ESSA:… Continue Reading

tandfonline.com – Explicating professional modes of action for teaching preschool mathematics** A previous version of this paper was presented at The Eighth Nordic Conference on Mathematics Education in Stockholm, May 30 – June 3, 2017.View all notes

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Play-based preschool pedagogy usually relies on informal teaching while policy trends and some research call for increased formalisation of the pedagogy. Using Bernstein’s concepts of classification and framing, this article characterises mechanisms that link evaluation of preschool to the push towards the formalisation of teaching in preschool. Moreover, it is suggested how preschool teaching of mathematics can be conceptualised in a way that widens the pedagogical responsibilities of the teachers to include a broader range of social activities than typically expected. These responsibilities concern how teachers are involved in pedagogical situations, if situations are planned and if the mathematics is a pedagogical goal in the situation or instrumental in some other activity. It is argued that a practice… Continue Reading
