A Framework And A Study To Characterize A Teacher’s Goals For Student Learning
Page: 863

Observed lessons spanning the use of both conceptually rich and conceptually poor curricula were analyzed and lead to unexpected findings, suggesting that both challenges and opportunities for professional development endeavors exist that center around perturbing a teacher's goals.
