RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS AND WORKING GROUP INVITATIONS:
Research Partnership: Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan
• Measures of Effective Teaching Project: (see: http://www.psc.isr.umich.edu/research/project-detail/35423) • Understanding Teaching Quality Study (funded by The Gates Foundation, Educational Testing Service, and
RAND)
Research Partnership: Educational Testing Service and University of Michigan School of Education
• Teacher Knowledge Assessment System (measures of teacher knowledge)
Smarter Together/ Complex Instruction Working Group
Hosted at the University of Georgia, in collaboration with the University of Arizona and Michigan State University
• The 3 day conference focused on preparing prospective elementary teachers to teach
mathematics. Specifically, the goal was to learn about using Complex Instruction, an equity-oriented group work pedagogy, to support prospective teachers in engaging their marginalized students in mathematical tasks.
Teach Math Dissemination Conference/ Working Group
Jointly hosted by the Michigan State University and the University of Arizona in collaboration with the University of Washington. The purpose of this meeting is to compare results of trying aspects of the research team’s curriculum designed for use in elementary mathematics methods courses to help pre-service teachers’ learning to connect to children’s mathematical thinking and children’s home and community-based funds of knowledge in mathematics instruction.
