In this episode of Evidence for Education, we talk with Lynsey Gibbons, Associate Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Delaware, Jody Guarino at the Orange County Department of Education, and Karen Knudson and Maggie Villegas from Tustin Unified School District to discuss their long-term research-practice partnership around professional learning in elementary mathematics education.
They have facilitated productive professional learning programs that deeply engage teachers and schools. These initiatives entail sustained and structured opportunities to build teachers’ capabilities through structured collaborative planning and professional learning routines. The guests will share their experiences and insights on their long-term RPP projects related to organizing districts and schools to support professional learning.
