Noticing activities are abundant in teacher education. We will discuss an implicit methodology used by many that may mask key details about teachers' professional noticing skills. We will engage in two activities to demonstrate the importance of interrelating noticing skills.

Student Teachers’ Professional Noticing in Written Justifications Compared to Researchers’ Analysis of the Same Video Instances

Mathematics Standards: Authority or Guidance?

Presenters: Kate Webster and Dawn Teuscher, Brigham Young University
Location: AMTE in Orlando, Florida
Abstract/Description:
We report on how teachers use the CCSSM to make decisions about what they teach or do not teach. This has implications for mathematics teacher educators as we help preservice teachers learn to use policy documents to improve student learning.
