Infusing Computational Thinking Instruction into Elementary Mathematics and Science: Patterns of Teacher Implementation
Kathryn Rich; Aman Yadav
Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education International Conference 2019 (Mar 18, 2019) pp. 330–334
In this brief paper, we will share preliminary results of a study of how elementary-school teachers take up computational thinking (CT) ideas and incorporate them into their mathematics and science teaching. We describe the teachers’ school contexts,...

Beacons of light, rays, or sun catchers? A case study of the positioning of literacy teachers and their knowledge in neoliberal times
Kathryn M. Hibbert; Rachel M. Heydon; Sharon J. Rich
Teaching and Teacher Education: An International Journal of Research and Studies Vol. 24, No. 2 (February 2008) pp. 303–315
This paper reports on a case study of a “lead literacy teacher” initiative in one Canadian province. This initiative is related to a “minority world” trend in teacher in-service that seeks to develop “experts” in a field with the intent that such...
