We will use Design-based Implementation Research (DBIR) methods and principles of Social Design Experiments to guide iterative cycles of inquiry and to study outcomes in diverse settings.
Research Questions
The following research questions guide this project
1.
What are the outcomes for teachers who participated in the PD program in regards to their beliefs and the quality of instruction for multilingual learners? More specifically:
What are the changes, if any, in teachers’ beliefs about effective mathematics instruction for multilingual learners?
What are the changes, if any, in teachers’ quality of instruction for multilingual learners?
What is the relationship between teachers’ beliefs about effective instruction for multilingual learners and quality instruction for multilingual learners?
2.
What do families/parents and teachers learn from working together about a) the strengths and assets that each bring; and b) about positioning multilingual learners for mathematics learning?
3.
How do teachers position multilingual learners in the mathematics classroom?
What changes do we notice, if any, in how teachers position multilingual learners over time?
4.
How do parents of multilingual learners position their children for mathematics learning?
How do these positionings shift, if at all, during parents’ engagement in the project?
5.
How do teachers’ and parents’ positioning practices influence multilingual learners’ access to mathematical discourse?
