Planning for NCTM New Orleans 2014: The Research Conference

Fresh off the plane from AERA in Philadelphia, I have a few moments to share my plans for the NCTM Research Conference. As you can see, I occasionally fool myself into thinking I can be two places at once. Or in one case, four.

Monday

Julie Booth, Francie Eyer, and E. Juliana Paré-Blagoev (Room 217/218)

5:45 - Teacher Learning of Learning Trajectories in Professional Development

P. Holt Wilson, Paola Sztajn, and Jared Webb (Room 217/218)

5:45 - Challenging Teachers' Perceptions of Mathematical Smartness

Megan H. Wickstrom (Room 217/218)

5:45 - Tracking Math Teacher Trajectories: Initial Results of a Longitudinal Study

William C. Zahner and Robert Afonso (Room 217/218)

7:00 - The Coming Transformation of American Education: Implications for Mathematics Education

10:00 - High School Integrated Curricula and College Level Mathematics Performance

Thomas R. Post, William Bush, and Robert Reys (Room 207)

10:00 - Implementing Mathematical Modeling in the Common Core Era

Michelle Cirillo, John A. Pelesko, and Jinfa Cai; Christian R. Hirsch, Elizabeth Phillips, and Sherry Fraser, discussants (Room 214)

10:00 - The Algebra Project: Working for Quality Math Education for Students

Robert P. Moses, Bill Crombie, Andre Hargunani, and José Antonio Orozco; OneLA- Industrial Areas Foundation, discussant (Room 208/209/210)

10:00 - The NCTM Research Conference: A Brief History and Future Directions

Members of the NCTM Research Committee, Members of the SIG/RME Board of Directors , J. Michael Shaughnessy, Patricia F. Campbell, Larry Hatfield, and Judith Sowder (Room 220/221/222)

(As you can see above, 10:00 is packed. I want to go to all of them and fear the regret of not seeing Bob Moses.)

11:30 - Examining the Influence of Tasks, Goals, and Anticipation on Instruction

Samuel L. Eskelson and Margaret Smith (Room 219)

1:15 - Using Representations of Practice in Survey Research with Mathematics Teachers

1:15 - Knowledge for Teaching Informal Line of Best Fit

Stephanie Casey, Nicholas H. Wasserman, David C. Wilson, and Adam Molnar (Room 207)

2:45 - Mathematics Teacher Educators Supporting Prospective Teachers in Learning about CCSSM

5:00 - Aligning Mathematical Tasks to the Standards for Mathematical Practice

Raymond Johnson (Room 217/218)

Wednesday

8:30 - Building Research Communities in Mathematics Education

Erica Walker, Daniel Chazan, Marta Civil, and Jacqueline Leonard (Room 219)

8:30 - Perspectives on Linking Research and Practice: Thoughts from the Field

10:00 - A Practical Theory of Productive Persistence in Mathematics Education

Philip Uri Treisman (Room 208/209/210)

12:30 - Beyond Rise-over-Run: A Design Experiment and Learning Trajectory for Slope
