Franke, Megan Loef; Carpenter, Thomas; Fennema, Elizabeth; Ansell, Ellen; Behrend, Jeannie
Teaching and Teacher Education, v14 n1 p67-80 Jan 1998
Investigated changes over four years for three elementary teachers participating in Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI), which emphasized students' mathematical thinking and supported teachers through workshops, mentoring, and collaboration. Interviews and observations indicated that CGI allowed teachers to engage in ongoing practical inquiry directed at understanding their students' thinking, thus helping them to engage in self-sustaining, generative growth.
