Decentering to Support Responsive Teaching for Middle School Students
A classroom study was conducted to understand how to engage in responsive teaching with 18 seventh grade students at three stages of units coordination during a unit on proportional reasoning co-taught by the first author and classroom teacher. In the unit, students worked on making two cars travel the same speed. Students at all three stages of units coordination learned to do so, as reported elsewhere (Hackenberg et al., 2023). This paper focuses on the practice of inquiring responsively in small groups.
