Interweaving Equitable Participation and Deep Mathematics

Building Community in the Elementary Classroom

By: Susan Jo Russell,Deborah Schifter

Creating mathematical community in elementary classrooms to support equitable engagement in deep mathematical content What does a mathematical community look like in an elementary classroom? How do teachers engage young mathematicians in deep and challenging mathematical content? How do we ensure that every student contributes their voice to this community? Interweaving Equitable Participation and Deep Mathematics: Building Community in the Elementary Classroom focuses on a dual commitment: to teaching deep and challenging mathematics and to equitable participation for all students in the classroom community. With practical strategies and real-life examples, Susan Jo Russell and Deborah Schifter offer a design for building community organized around four key aspects: every voice matters; collaboration supports student agency; student-created representations offer anchors, openings, and depth; and students become initiators and advocates for their own learning. Each chapter examines how teachers implement these ideas through video examples from six public elementary-school classrooms. A powerful resource for any educator interested in a mathematics education that fosters a true sense of community, this book Provides a window into a learning community of educators applying their understanding of mathematics to develop a teaching practice that fosters students’ curiosity, meaning-making, and mathematical agency Presents vivid examples of teachers and students in diverse classrooms engaged in rich mathematical tasks and deep collaborative conversations, inviting readers to reflect on their practices and students′ learning Engages readers in math investigations to help them understand student thinking, provides reflection questions about the classroom video, and offers suggestions for taking next steps in one′s own practice Includes commentaries on the videos by a group of "critical friends"—educators with deep experience in mathematics and equity—and by the teachers of the classrooms in the videos Offers free online tools for professional development and book study groups, including a Facilitator’s Guide and a Notes Organizer, and suggests resources for continued learning. This book is a must-read for anyone passionate about creating positive change in the mathematics education system and ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive in their mathematical journey.

Designing Professional Development for Teachers of Science and Mathematics

By: Susan Loucks-Horsley

This New Edition collects and brings together in one place what has been learned from professional developers efforts across the country in order to make the framework, principles, and strategies of the first edition come to life. This edition deepens our understanding of professional development through further research and new resources. The original purpose of this book to put a competent and caring teacher in every classroom has yet to be fulfilled and is more urgent now than ever. The authors provide one-stop shopping for busy practitioners that incorporates the most up-to-date research gleaned from the broadest possible research base as well as robust and rich descriptions of effective professional development programmes. It incorporates the growing knowledge base about learning, teaching, the nature of science and mathematics, professional development, and change. The authors scanned the field of professional development in mathematics and science over the last five years, noting what has changed and what has not, dissected the original framework, updated examples, incorporate what authors have learned as well as advances in the field. This essential primer offers a framework that considers key inputs and combines strategies uniquely tailored to their environment and goals; summarizes key knowledge and best practices; provides guidance on assessing one′s context; describes strategies that go beyond most common workshops and institutes; provides real-life examples of how elements of the framework were used to create professional development initiatives; offers references and resources for further exploration and inquiry. Highlights of the Second Edition include: - New design framework that incorporates standards, student learning data, and evaluation techniques - More guidance for assessing context using data - More strategies for professional development, including lesson study, aligning and selecting curriculum, and demonstration lessons. - Stronger real-life examples, including new uses of technology and data-driven designs An essential resource for educators who design, conduct, and support professional development for teachers of mathematics and science, including staff developers, principals, teacher leaders, curriculum supervisors, and leadership teams. College and university faculty in education, science, and mathematics will also find this to be a useful compendium of ideas for improving mathematics and science education.

Activebook for Out of Many

A History of the American People

By: John Mack Faragher,Mari Jo Buhle,Professor of American Culture Mari Jo Buhle,Daniel Czitrom,Susan Armitage

BASIC APPROACH For introductory-level American History Courses. This pathbreaking text weaves together the complex interaction of social, political and historical forces that have shaped the United States and from which "the American people" have evolved by telling stories of people and of the nation and emphasizing that American history has never been the preserve of any particular region. Traditional turning points and watershed events are integrated with the stories of the nation's many diverse communities. The activebook version is an interactive, online, digital book that completely integrates multimedia resources with the textbook to greatly enhance the student learning experience. The activebook experience: Uses the web for what it's good at! An activebook takes full advantage of the online environment. Each chapter of the activebook for Out of Many: Third Edition contains an active poll, active examples and exercises, active maps, audio examples, audio exercises, active concept checks, moments in time, as well as graphs, tables, and charts to provide an interactive learning experience. Lets students learn the way they learn best! An activebook engages students of all learning styles through online print, audio, and video resources. The activebook experience is customizable by faculty and students. Students can annotate their activebook and customize their view of the book's dynamic resources. Gives you more for less! Despite the increased amount of multimedia and interactive content, activebooks cost less than traditional textbooks. Even though the core text is retained in print, the print component of an activebook is shorter than a traditional text. All boxed material, chapter summaries, exercises, and other content that can be made dynamic reside in the online component of the activebook.
