Teachers’ learning goals and their knowledge of students play important roles in influencing exactly how a teacher adapts curriculum materials. The authors asked two elementary teachers to write narratives about their use of and changes to particular reform-oriented science lesson plans.

Educative curriculum materials are materials designed to promote both teacher and student learning. These materials may help novice teachers learn how to engage in productive curricular planning. This quasi-experimental study examines the affordances and constraints of two different forms of educative support, general supports and lesson-specific supports, in helping preservice elementary teachers critique and adapt science curriculum materials. Implications for teacher education and curriculum materials design are discussed.
