MQI Coaching and Task Cognitive Demand: coaching for increased cognitive demand by focusing on implementation over materials

April 2, 2019 | 2:15–3:15 p.m. | Marriott Marquis, Pacific 25

In our research, we see that the extent to which the students, as opposed to the teacher, are doing the mathematical "heavy lifting" in a lesson depends far more on the teachers' instructional decisions than on the task or curriculum being used. This session explores the enactment of various types of tasks, and how coaches can support teachers' to improve the cognitive demand for all students, regardless of the curriculum or task being implemented.
