Deborah Loewenberg Ball to teach laboratory classes this summer

Mathematics Methods Laboratory

May 20–24, 2024, Ann Arbor, Michigan

As the centerpiece of the 2024 TeachingWorks Content Methods Laboratory Class and Workshop, Deborah Loewenberg Ball will teach a mathematics methods course to teacher candidates while teacher educators from around the country watch in person or virtually. Loewenberg Ball will introduce problems of practice for consideration in each daily pre- and post-class discussion and will also invite participants to raise their own questions and ideas. This will allow participating teacher educators to investigate the best ways to use a semester-long methods course and engage in rich conversations about the design of practice-based courses, including what to include in a one-semester course. The methods laboratory class is designed to support the learning of all involved, particularly of the participating teacher candidates, but also of participating teacher educators and the laboratory class instructors. 

Elementary Mathematics Laboratory

June 17–21, 2024, Detroit, Michigan
June 24–28, 2024, Grand Rapids, Michigan

Deborah Loewenberg Ball and Darrius Robinson, doctoral candidate and experienced mathematics teacher and coach, will lead the 2024 Elementary Mathematics Laboratory (EML) in Detroit and Grand Rapids. Now in its 17th year, the EML is an opportunity for teachers, education leaders, and researchers to engage with others in the close study of mathematics teaching practice, exploring the complexity of teaching and investigating and challenging what it means to use skillful teaching to disrupt patterns of injustice. Each day, participants will observe lower elementary children working on mathematics in a live, two-hour class; discuss what is happening in the class with other educators and with Loewenberg Ball and Robinson; participate in afternoon workshops; and unpack instructional decisions, examine mathematics content, and interrogate issues of equity in classrooms.
