The Journey To Becoming Constructivist, Presidential Award For Excellence In Mathematics And Science Teaching, Secondary Mathematics Teacher, Gerald E. Young
Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this research study is to describe and analyze the self-reported experiences of exemplary high school mathematics teachers who underwent personal and professional transformations in order to develop and use a standards-based, constructivist (SBC) teaching paradigm in their classrooms. These teachers were all past recipients of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST), an award that required them to demonstrate that their mathematics instruction was rigorous in the manner described by the NCTM standards.
The following research questions are addressed: (a) What are the paths SBC secondary mathematics teachers who received the PAEMST pursued …

Dissertations and Theses
While professional developers have been encouraging teachers to plan for discourse around problem solving tasks as a way to orchestrate mathematically productive discourse (Stein, Engle, Smith, & Hughes, 2008; Stein, Smith, Henningsen, & Silver, 2009) no research has been conducted explicitly examining the relationship between the plans that teachers make for orchestrating discourse around problem solving tasks and the outcomes of implementation of those plans. This research study is intended to open the door to research on planning for discourse around problem solving tasks.
This research study analyzes how 12 middle school mathematics teachers participating in the Mathematics Problem Solving …
