" What is a stadium?" Attention to, motivations for, and effectiveness of preservice teacher task modifications for ELLs
Erin Smith, Matt Sakow, & Zandra de Araujo
K-5, General
Grande Ballroom A
In this session, participants will examine the ways in which four preservice teachers( PSTs) attended to the needs of English language learners( ELLs) while working on a cognitively demanding mathematical task. Participants will gain insight into the motivations behind and effectiveness of PSTs’ task modifications. emsxh3 @ missouri. edu, mes7v6 @ mail. missouri. edu, dearaujoz @ missouri. edu
Positioning Diverse Learners at the Center of Mathematics Education
Carlos LópezLeiva
Through an example of a curricular shift in a mathematics methods course for elementary education teachers, this session will present explorations that pre-service teachers engaged in to tailor their lessons to their students’ funds of knowledge. Furthermore, the audience will engage on a reflection process to implement a similar approach. callopez @ unm. edu
