Haverly, Christa; Lyle, Angela; Spillane, James P.; Davis, Elizabeth A.; Peurach, Donald J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), a reform effort "for states, by states," advances ambitious ideals for elementary science teaching, but the fate of these ideals will depend in part on the engagement of state science coordinators (SSCs). This article explores the responses of SSCs to NGSS in a purposeful sample of 18 US…

Kempson, Lauri; Lewin, Greg – American Council of Trustees and Alumni, 2013
America's colleges and universities have long been the envy of the world. But it would be hard to think of a time when the public has viewed American higher education with greater skepticism. It is a tragedy that colleges and universities are increasingly characterized by their high costs, not their high standards. This fifth edition of…

Navarro, Maria Angeles; Carreras, Pedro Perez – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2011
We present a semi-structured clinic interview designed to ease the mental construction of a suitable concept-image of the notion of convergence for series of positive numbers. Cognitive obstacles will manifest themselves along the interview and we shall deal with them and teach the student how to overcome them. A special computer generated tool…

Bair, Mary Antony; Bair, David – American Secondary Education, 2010
Although many high schools are switching from a semester to a trimester schedule as a response to increased high-school graduation requirements, there is very little empirical research on trimesters. In this ethnographic case study (2006-2009), we observed 22 math and science classrooms, interviewed seven administrators, two counselors and 22…
