In the studio with David Pearce and Wilma Hashimoto two of the AIMS Center’s Research Associates, and we discuss the third aspect of Professional Noticing: Deciding. We discuss how this aspect takes place in the midst of classroom activity, and how it is dependent upon the two prior aspects of: Attend and Interpret. We end up discussing how this supports the goal of creating a student centered classroom, one in which the learner’s thinking and conceptualization is valued as the starting place for academic learning.
