Exploration of TAMI-OP as a Professional Development Tool for Mathematics Instructors
Page: 572
The VIP-Math project aimed to understand whether and how teaching practices of mathematics instructors are influenced by discussions of their classroom data visualized using the TAMI-OP classroom observation tool. We found that TAMI-OP data visualizations supported discussions that led the participating mathematics instructors to set both short- and long-term teaching goals, and to experiment with teaching practices related to at least one of their goals. Given the limitations of the participant pool, further research is recommended with a greater diversity of instructors and coaches.
