Online Appendix: Building on the work of teachers: Augmenting a functional lens to a teacher-generated framework for describing the instructional practices of responding

Abstract

This is an online appendix to: Milewski, A & Strickland, S. (2020). Building on the work of teachers: Augmenting a functional lens to a teacher-generated framework for describing the instructional practices of responding. Linguistics and Education, 57 (June 2020). https://doi-org.proxy.lib.umich.edu/10.1016/j.linged.2020.100816. In the main article, we offer a framework for analyzing teachers’ practice of responding to students’ mathematical contributions. This work builds on a framework developed by secondary mathematics teachers that we then augmented with one developed by linguists to create a modified framework that addresses pedagogic responding moves in detail. We show, through in-depth transcript analysis, along with commentary by a teacher and researcher, how the modifications support teachers and researchers to better understand how the dual focus on particular moves and their functional organization shapes discourse to support learning. The resulting framework is situated in the efforts toward building a common language of practice useful for enabling teachers to see and intervene on their own practice while supporting researchers to build theory about how teachers’ instructional practices shape classroom discourse.
