Seminar participants will

• consider a position within a critical theorist framework as a foundation for exploring their vision of a math classroom
• establish their framework through articles and discussion
• offer ideas about how their vision for mathematics classrooms emerges from their theoretical position
• further their understanding of a critical perspective by engaging the presenter in discussion, uncovering and critiquing assumptions, and heightening awareness of the tensions that emerge
• continue to participate in and work toward more meaningful action within local mathematics education community

Course Structure

• participants will preview documents in preparation for upcoming colleagues' presentations
• each participant will give an hour-long presentation of framework and classroom vision, including discussion and critique
• we may view videotapes of other mathematics classrooms to spark discussion and form guidelines for critique
• we will eat lunch

Final Products:

• each participant will prepare some archivable demonstration of his or her framework and classroom vision
• each participant will submit an abstract and complete citation for their chosen articles
• including a follow-up reflection on the class discussion
