Direct linkSickel, Aaron J.; Friedrichsen, Patricia – School Science and Mathematics, 2015
The purpose of this three-year case study was to understand how a beginning biology teacher (Alice) designed and taught a 5E unit on natural selection, how the unit changed when she took a position in a different school district, and why the changes occurred. We examined Alice's developing beliefs about science teaching and learning,…

McGee, Jennifer R.; Wang, Chuang; Drew, Polly – School Science and Mathematics, 2013
Reforms in mathematics education call for K-12 teachers to employ standards-based pedagogies, which embody the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics' principles and standards. In order to effectively support teachers' implementation of standards-based curricula, professional development must be provided that meets teachers' needs. The…

Peer reviewedBrahier, Daniel J.; Schaffner, Monika – School Science and Mathematics, 2004
In each of three consecutive years, 16 teachers were admitted to a program in which they participated in a study group to reform their teaching practices in mathematics. The 48 (total) elementary school teachers in this program were selected to ensure diversity of setting--urban and suburban, as well as public and parochial. Teachers routinely met…
