Description of Presentation:
We present initial findings from a study on a professional development program aimed at changing teachers’ instructional practices. We view the trajectory of teachers’ change as moving from engaging students in “ritual” ways, where the goal is satisfying teachers’ authority, towards engaging “exploratively” by mathematizing on their own.
Session Type: Discussion Session
