Learning to Measure Our Impact: Focus on Mathematics
Abstract
"Focus on Mathematics is a targeted MSP funded by the National Science Foundation since 2003. As part of this work, we are developing a research program with the goal of understanding the connections between secondary teachers' mathematical habits of mind (MHoM) and students' mathematical understanding and achievement. We are developing tools to study the question: What are the MHoM that high school teachers use in their professional lives and how can we measure them? In this feedback session, we will share preliminary versions of our observation protocol and sample items from a paper and pencil assessment of MHoM. We will also share our working definition of MHoM."
