Prospective Elementary School Teachers’ Professional Noticing of Children’s Early Numeracy
Authors: Schack Edna O., Fisher Molly H., Thomas Jonathan N., Eisenhardt Sara, Tassell Janet Lynne, Yoder Margaret
This study aims to develop the professional noticing abilities of prospective elementary school teachers in the context of the Stages of Early Arithmetic Learning. In their mathematics methods course, ninety-four prospective elementary school teachers from three institutions participated in a researcher-developed five-session module that progressively nests the three interrelated components of professional noticing—attending, interpreting, and deciding. A Wilcoxon signed ranks test was conducted and found the prospective elementary school teachers demonstrated significant growth in all three components. Selected prospective elementary school teacher responses on the pre- and post-assessment are provided to illustrate sample growth in the prospective teachers’ abilities to professionally notice.

Improving Preservice Teacher Preparation Through the Teacher Work Sample: Exploring Assessment and Analysis of Student Learning
Authors: Stobaugh Rebecca Ruth, Tassell Janet Lynne, Norman Anthony D.
This study describes how pre-service teachers performed on a Teacher Work Sample, a high-stakes instrument completed during student teaching. The study reviewed other available teacher preparation program data as possible confirmation that preservice teachers find the skills associated with assessment challenging to master. This study reveals that the lack of focus on assessment and analysis leads to preservice teachers having lesser concern about these skills. The review of preservice teacher performance on TWS indicators suggests a lack of consensus on how to teach preservice teachers to achieve the skills, particularly in the Assessment Plan and Analysis for Student Learning.
