Lewis, James L.; Ream, Robert K.; Bocian, Kathleen M.; Cardullo, Richard A.; Hammond, Kimberly A.; Fast, Lisa A. – Teachers College Record, 2012
Background/Context: How do we account for the persistence of below-average math test score performance among California Hispanics who are fluent in English, as well as Spanish-dominant English learners? Recent studies have attributed the problem to an overly rigid focus on "what works" in curriculum and fluency in English to the…

Berlin, Rebekah; Youngs, Peter; Cohen, Julie – Teachers College Record, 2021
Background/Context: Many elementary teacher education programs seek to prepare candidates to enact ambitious mathematics instruction that supports students in engaging in rigorous, conceptually rich mathematics tasks. Extant literature suggests that preparedness to engage in ambitious elementary mathematics instruction is multifaceted and includes…

Rodriguez, Awilda; Hernandez-Hamed, Esmeralda – Teachers College Record, 2020
Background/Context: Each year, large shares of students who could do well in Advanced Placement courses and exams--known as AP potential students-- do not participate, particularly students of color and low-income students. There are a number of prevailing reasons, both structural (schools do not offer the courses or teachers do no accurately…
