| Abstract: |
Launching cognitively demanding tasks is a much valued, but little understood aspect of ambitious mathematics teaching. This working group supports the development of shared descriptions, theories, and tools to support teachers, teacher educators, and researchers in understanding and developing effective launching. We will begin to develop a shared understanding of the purposes of effective launches, as well as common challenges teachers face, and structures and skills that teachers can call upon when launching. The working group will provide a set of common artifacts that will ground discussion of purpose, structure, and skill. These artifacts will include demonstrations and video of launches and launching tools for teachers and teacher educators. The working group will support ongoing discussion and collaboration between researchers, teacher educators, and practitioners in the field that will contribute to our knowledge of effective launches.
