Acknowledging that our professional development (or methods course) was not going as well as we had hoped was difficult. However, knowing what to do and correcting the problem was even more challenging. This article explains how we engaged teachers in helping us rethink our video club by listening to and acting on their ideas. Through “coffee chats” with teachers during our video club professional development, we received advice on what (and how) to change and what to keep. That advice led to a guide to future video clubs and principles for professional development.more » « less

Blikstein, P; Van_Aalst, J; Kizito, R; Brennan, K (Ed.)In this study, we focused on the challenges that kindergarten teachers discussed related to curriculum, lack of teacher autonomy, and administrative control. We explored teachers' resistance using the lens of creative insubordination (Gutiérrez, 2016) to answer these questions: 1) What challenges do kindergarten teachers discuss about implementing playful math in kindergarten? and 2) How do teachers discuss navigating implementation challenges? We found that teachers used playful resistance as a way to enact “Using the Master’s Tools,” an approach to Creative Insubordination outlined by Gutièrrez (2016). This study corroborates and extends prior work on creative insubordination by focusing on early childhood mathematics and exploring teachers’ strategies to employ playful resistance.more » « less
