Fostering effective mathematics teaching: professional coaching and teachers' instructional practices and beliefs
No full textTwo decades ago the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics challenged the mathematics education community to promulgate a comprehensive set of learning goals for K-12 students that would guide mathematics curriculum, teaching, and assessment for the future. One consequence was an emphasis on professional development of teachers. Accordingly, in 2003, New York Cityʼs public schools started a math coaching program, whereby math education experts worked closely with math teachers for an extended period of time in the teachersʼ schools. This program became an opportunity for important research regarding the effectiveness of coaching This study describes the collaboration between one coach and one teacher in the implementation of the coaching system. The researcher observed and videotaped a lesson and the subsequent debriefing between the teacher and coach; and interviewed the teacher, coach, and principal. The benefit to the classroom teacher was supported by analysis of the data. The teacher reported that, for the first time, math was “fun,” she was more confident, and more class time was devoted to mathematics. The teacher paid closer attention to student work, reflected on her own practice, grouped students more beneficially, encouraged them to interact, and to make their thinking public. She did not view answers as just right or wrong, but rather as part of a process of making sense of ideas. The data suggest: 1. The teacher reported that some of her beliefs about math teaching had changed due to the coaching process. 2. Teacher practices mirrored teacher beliefs. There are signs that the coaching is influencing the teacherʼs practice. 3. The coach helped the teacher learn mathematics and pay attention to the math learning of her students. 4. The teacher is in a state of transition in many of her emerging beliefs, suggesting that some of them are fragile. While results of the study are promising, further research is recommended to examine long term effects of coaching with more teachers and coaches over several cycles.Ed.D.Includes abstractIncludes bibliogrqphical referencesby James A.

Response to Roundtable Comments
No full textIn her response, Neuberger elaborates and extends a few of her key arguments as discussed by Brandenberger,
Kleiman, Petrone, Platt, and Tsivian. She focuses on questions involving Eisenstein’s exceptionality,
the general reception of Ivan the Terrible, Stalin’s response to the film and its homoeroticism, and fundamental
questions about Eisenstein’s interpretation of Ivan and his reign, its application to the present and to all rulers.
She clarifies fundamental questions about Eisenstein’s conception of dialectics, and shows his commitment to
dialectics as something more than more than binary conflict. Eisenstein not only saw all phenomena as “unities
of opposites”, but contrasted the dialectical contradictory with a unitary definitive, giving us neither a simpler
dualism nor a permanent state of contradiction. The categorical doesn’t cancel out the contested (or vice versa):
together the categorical and the contested create another level of complexity, making it possible to see Ivan the
Terrible as a film that repeatedly poses questions about power, violence, and human perception, and a film that is
a radical critique of Stalinism and Soviet ideology. The author underlines, that in This Thing of Darkness she tried
to show that the search for “meaning” in Eisenstein (and in my reading of Eisenstein) was no simple path toward
a definitive truth, but is something like the way we experience films: seeing, hearing, intuiting, sensing, learning,
feeling, wondering, learning a little more, and eventually thinking through what we have seen and experienced in
order to make it meaningful for us
Numerical Solutions of a Vector Ginzburg-Landau Equation with a Triple Well Potential
No full textWe numerically compute solutions to the vector Ginzburg-Landau equation with a triple-well potential. We use the Galerkin Newton Gradient Algorithm of Neuberger & Swift and bifurcation techniques to find solutions. With a small parameter, we find a Morse index 2 triple junction solution. This is the solution for which Flores, Padilla, & Tonegawa gave an existence proof. We classify all of the solutions guaranteed to exist by the Equivariant Branching Lemma at the first bifurcation points of the trivial solutions. Guided by the symmetry analysis, we numerically compute the solution branches. Revised manuscript submitted to the International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos on August 28, 2002
The Need for Alternatives to Liver Biopsies: Non-Invasive Analytics and Diagnostics
No full textJames Neuberger,1 Owen Cain2 1Liver Unit, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, B15 2TH, UK; 2Department of Cellular Pathology, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, B15 2TH, UKCorrespondence: James NeubergerLiver Unit, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, B15 2TH, UKTel +44 7827299254Email [email protected]: Histology remains essential for the diagnosis and management of many disorders affecting the liver. However, the biopsy procedure itself is associated with a low risk of harm to the patient and cost to the health services; samples may not be adequate and are subject to sampling variation. Furthermore, interpretation often depends on the skill of the pathologist. Increasingly, new techniques are becoming available that are altering the indications for liver biopsy. Many diseases of the liver can be diagnosed and managed using serological and radiological techniques; the degree of fibrosis and fat can often be assessed by serological or imaging techniques and the nature of space occupying lesions defined by serology, imaging and use of liquid biopsy. However, these techniques, too, are subject to limitations: sensitivity and specificity is not always adequate for diagnosis or management; some techniques are expensive and often also require expert interpretation. Although there may be less need for liver biopsy today, histology remains the gold standard as well as an essential tool for the diagnosis and management of many conditions, especially where there are multiple pathologies, or where a diagnosis cannot or has not been made by alternative approaches. Until less invasive techniques become more reliable and accessible, liver histology will remain a key investigation.Keywords: imaging, liquid biopsies, multiple liver pathology, unknown pathology, non-invasive test
