  2. This paper reports on a correlation analysis of two cohorts of mathematics teachers’ patterns of participation in online asynchronous discussions and their persistence in a sequence of professional development workshops. Findings indicate that increased access to colleagues’ knowledge resources and more frequent dispersion of these resources across the social network related to persistence. We discuss how variations in the design of our online workshops may have impacted teachers’ potential to persist in the professional development. The findings have implications for network-based instructional strategies that could increase mathematics teachers’ potential to persist in online professional developments.

    Understanding how to design online professional development environments that support mathematics teachers in developing mathematical and pedagogical knowledge is more important than ever. We argue that productive social and sociomathematical (SM) norms have benefits for teachers learning mathematics in online asynchronous collaboration and that particular patterns in interactions can create context for the emergence of such norms. We employed social network analysis to compare the emerging social networks of two iterations of an online asynchronous professional development course focused on functions to understand whether particular scaffolds can support the emergence of specific patterns of interactions. Results suggest that evidence-based noticing and wondering can impact the “small world” properties of a social network and associated potential for the emergence of social and SM norms.
