‘Piecing things together as best we can’
At some point during the 2020–21 school year, the majority of U.S. school districts adopted a ‘hybrid’ instructional model that allowed families to choose whether to send their children to school or keep them at home for remote instruction. Drawing on policy enactment theory, this paper traces how PreK teachers enacted hybrid instruction in the U.S. state of Wisconsin, where PreK is voluntary, controlled by local school districts, and located in …
How parents make decisions about PreK enrollment
Public PreK programs are an increasingly popular policy tool to equalize early learning opportunities. Programs can be universally available or targeted to support children’s readiness. At the intersection of early childhood and K-12 education, their hybrid status can be difficult for families to negotiate. Based on interviews completed in 2018, we describe how parents in a universal PreK program decided whether and where their child would attend…
Exploring the figured worlds of mindfulness and teaching
In the high-pressure world of education, mindfulness practices have been offered to help teachers and students to handle stress and manage their emotions. Here we describe how two fifth-grade teachers experienced a mindfulness intervention, using the construct of figured worlds. We explore how they negotiated mindfulness in their practice, illustrating the power of an anthropological look at a typically psychological construct
The power of improvisational teaching
Imagining a Future in PreK
This article describes how early childhood teachers engaged in a public preK professional development program. We examine how developing teacher identities mediated engagement with the discourses of developmentally appropriate practice, early mathematics, and funds of knowledge and how they connected present practice to an imagined future. We found that helping them to connect practice experience and new mathematical content knowledge through pla…
The View from the Lighted Schoolhouse
In this essay we examine how educators work within a component of a class size reduction reform designed to strengthen the connections between families’ home and school lives. We describe the accomplishments and struggles experienced by educators enacting this “lighted schoolhouse” based on our research in nine schools over three years. Specifically, we consider how educational resources are applied and experienced in schools and how opportunitie…
The Wisdom of Class-Size Reduction
In this study, the authors explore the implementation of a statewide class-size reduction program in nine high-poverty schools. Through qualitative methods, they examined how schools used class-size reduction to change staffing patterns and instructional programs. Requiring changes in space allocation, class-size reduction was accomplished through attention to pupil:teacher ratio, with classes ranging from 15:1 to 30:2 team taught. Most partner c…

The Transformative Power of Reviewing
Peer review is one of the most pervasive tasks in research. It shapes opportunities and the knowledge available for practice, and it strongly influences careers. Although researchers spend much time in the review process, it is rarely formally taught in our professional preparation. This article explores the roles served by the peer review process. Using the metaphor of publishing as a playground, I argue that peer review is at its most powerful …
Preservice teachers’ notions of families and schooling
Questions, Calls, and Conversations for Researchers in Teacher Education
Examination of the foundations and practice of inquiry is increasingly common in the academy. At conferences, in journals, in books, scholars are looking beyond the findings of research to questions of method, merit, and knowing. These discussions have been diverse catalysts and have resulted in increased openness to new ways of pursuing educational knowledge. At the same time, many have noted growing tensions among scholars who represent the edg…
A Bakhtinian Analysis of Particular Home-School Relations
In this article, we explore home-school relations as the establishment of a complex relationship between institutions and individuals in specific contexts. Using Bakhtin’s ideas of answerability, which depict a particular kind of responsibility, and addressivity, a conception of the relational nature of being, we explore how parents in one elementary school came to understand and enact relationships with schoolpeople. Answerability and addressivi…
Redshirting and Early Retention
This paper describes the results of a study that examined the prevalence of the delay of kindergarten entry, also known as academic redshirting. Utilizing a representative sample of Wisconsin school district, the authors examined the school records of more than 8,000 students to depict patterns of school entry, promotion, subsequent special services, and student achievement. Results indicate that approximately 7% of the sample bad delayed school …
Studying Children in Context
The art and science of doing qualitative research involving children is the subject of this book. Elizabeth Graue and Daniel Walsh discuss the research process, dealing succinctly with generic issues but emphasizing where work with children presents its own particular challenges. Part One looks across the research enterprise, conceptualizing it as an holistic activity. Part Two focuses on fieldwork, and the final part examines the interpretive an…

Ventriloquating the Meanings of Mathematics
Recent calls for reform in mathematics education have focused on enriching teacher knowledge and classroom activity to make students more active participants in the construction of knowledge. This approach underestimates the power of institutional histories to frame participants’ views of schooling. In particular, it ignores the perspectives students and parents bring to reforms that are often implemented in their schools without their knowledge …

Parents and Mathematics Education Reform
In this article, we explore the meaning that parents bring to and make out of their interactions with the school through assessment. Based on a qualitative study of mathematics reform, we examine interviews with 18 parents of middle school students. Through a Bakhtinian analysis, we find that parents' perspectives on assessment are framed by their past experiences with schools. Their reaction is situated historically, politically, and socially; t…

Social interpretations of readiness for kindergarten
Socially constructed readiness for school
Educational researchers, early childhood educators, and parents often think of readiness for school as a measurable child characteristic. This ignores the social process by which readiness is used to group, rank, and compare children and the variability in the term's use from community to community. This study proposes that readiness for school should be conceived as being “socially constructed.” Using a conceptual framework based on Vygotskian t…
Talking About Instruction
Verbal descriptions of successful and unsuccessful lessons were used to examine 47 student teach ers' conceptions of instruction. The interns identified seven elements related to lesson success or failure. Further, responses were typed according to attribution of lesson outcome. Three perspec tives represented the degree to which student teachers emphasized their role or that of their students in the success or failure of the lesson. Illustration…

Academic and Occupational Performance
Computer searches of three data bases and hand searches of four major review articles yielded 35 studies of the association between academic and occupational performance in various fields completed since 1950. The study-weighted mean of the 209 correlations is .155, and the standard deviation is .176. Although highly significant, academic indicators such as grades and test scores account on average for only 2.4% of the variance in occupational pe…
