Resource | Re-mythologizing mathematics through attention to classroom positioning
With our conceptualization of Harré and van Langenhove’s (1999) positioning theory, we draw attention to immanent experience and read transcendent discursive practices through the moment of interaction. We use a series of spatial images as metaphors to analyze the way positioning is conceptualized in current mathematics education literature and the way it may be alternatively conceptualized. This…

Resource | Professional Noticing of Children’s Mathematical Thinking
The construct professional noticing of children’s mathematical thinking is introduced as a way to begin to unpack the in-the-moment decision making that is foundational to the complex view of teaching endorsed in national reform documents. We define this expertise as a set of interrelated skills including (a) attending to children’s strategies, (b) interpreting children’s understandings, and (c)…

Resource | Prepare and Inspire: K-12 Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) for America's Future
America is home to extraordinary assets in science, engineering, and mathematics that, if properly applied within the educational system, could revitalize student interest and increase proficiency in these subjects and support an American economic renewal, according to a new report from an independent council of Presidential advisors. The new report by the President’s Council of Advisors on…

Resource | Preparation and Characterization of a Monolithic Column for use in HPLC: An Undergraduate Laboratory Experiment
The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) experiment, most often done in the undergraduate analytical instrumentation laboratory course, generally illustrates reversed-phase chromatography using a commercial C18 silica column. To avoid the expense of periodic column replacement and introduce a choice of columns with different stationary phases, we have developed an experiment in which…

Resource | Practice-Engaged Research and Development in Education
This paper argues for education research and development (R&D) arrangements and policies that systematically encourage engagement with practice. Citing practices in health-services research and commercial R&D as well as education, it advocates more attention to approaches such as the following: - Grounding studies in practitioners’ problems and exploring practitioners’ solutions-…

Resource | Planning Evaluations for DRK-12 Design Projects: An Evaluative Framework Using Evidence-Centered Design (Large-Scale Assessment Technical Report 5)
Evaluation work is presented and discussed in terms of evaluative requirements from the National Science Foundation, and in terms of five fundamental issues that undergird practical program evaluation: social programming, knowledge construction, valuing, knowledge use, and evaluation practice. The report moves through six phases of evaluative work: (1) a logic modeling process, (2)…

Resource | Networks and Social Media for STEM Educators, Policymakers, and Researchers
In this pdf are STEM education networks and social media sources that may be of interest to DR-K12 grantees for the purposes of (1) disseminating knowledge and products and (2) developing partnerships with stakeholders and end users. These networks and social media were chosen because they provide researchers and developers with an opportunity to present their work to individuals that could…

Resource | Negotiating Identities for Mathematics Teaching in the Context of Professional Development
In this article, we present an analytical approach for documenting the identities for teaching that mathematics teachers negotiate as they participate in two or more communities that define high-quality teaching differently. Drawing on data from the first two years of a collaboration with a group of middle-school mathematics teachers, we focus on a critical initial condition for teachers to…
