    Differentiating Mathematics Instruction for Multilingual Students using Critical Sociocultural Practices
    (TODOS: Mathematics for ALL, 2018) Teemant, Annela; Sherman, Brandon J.; Wilson, Amy
    This paper defines and elaborates on a three-tiered transformative approach to differentiating mathematics instruction for multilingual learners, which includes increasing use of small group instruction, improving the quality of assistance during learning, and creating a culture of recognition that affirms all learners. Using supporting evidence from instructional coaching studies, this paper identifies challenges faced by general education mathematics teachers at each tier of differentiation. While coached elementary and secondary teachers made significant gains in implementing this approach to differentiation, secondary mathematics teachers, in particular, had significantly less growth. Implications for increasing mathematics teachers’ knowledge and skills in differentiating instruction for multilingual learners are addressed.

    Effects of ESL Instructional Coaching on Secondary Teacher Use of Sociocultural Instructional Practices
    (Indiana Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages, 2015-10-29) Teemant, Annela; Cen, Yuhao; Wilson, Amy
    This longitudinal and descriptive quantitative study investigates the efficacy of an English as a Second Language (ESL) instructional coaching intervention with urban secondary teachers (N = 22). Coached teachers participated in a 30-hour workshop and then six cycles of coaching targeting use of five research-based sociocultural principles of (language) learning called the Standards for Effective Pedagogy. Findings demonstrate instructional coaching led to unique and statistically significant (a) pedagogical transformation and (b) patterns of development for STEM and non-STEM secondary teachers. Implications for improving the professional development model for STEM teachers are discussed.
