She works with undergraduate learning assistants as they interact with students in a teaching role for the first time. She is broadly interested in research that has the potential to build community or to empower students and teachers of science. This interests flashes itself out in her research on responsive teaching and on the resources that students and teachers use to make sense of science teaching. Rachel E. Scherr is a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Physics at Seattle Pacific University. Her research focuses on what people do to learn together. Scherr is a leader in video microanalysis methodologies for physics education research, conducting theoretically driven qualitative investigations into how learners construct understanding. She leads projects to support elementary and secondary teachers' teaching and learning of energy and is the editor of Periscope, a set of materials for university physics educator development based on classroom video of best-practices university physics instruction. David Hammer has studied the learning and teaching of science (mostly physics) from elementary school through university, with particular emphasis on students; intuitive epistemologies, how instructors attend and respond to student thinking, and resource-based models of knowledge and reasoning. From 1998 to 2010 he was a professor of Physics and Curriculum & Instruction at the University of Maryland, College Park. In 2010 he moved to Tufts University, where he is a professor of Education and Physics and, currently, chair of Education and co-director of the Center for Engineering Education and OutreachDDC Call Number: C 507.1 | R312r 2016 | Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |

"Answering calls in recent reform documents to shape instruction in response to students' ideas while integrating key concepts and scientific and/or mathematical practices, this text presents the concept of responsive teaching, synthesizes existing research, and examines implications for both research and teaching. Case studies across the curriculum from elementary school through adult education illustrate the variety of forms this approach to instruction and learning can take, what is common among them, and how teachers and students experience it. The cases include intellectual products of students' work in responsive classrooms and address assessment methods and issues. Many of the cases are supplemented with online resources (http://www.studentsthinking.org/rtsm) including classroom video and extensive transcripts, providing readers with additional opportunities to immerse themselves in responsive classrooms and to see for themselves what these environments look and feel like."--
