Abstract
- In this paper we examine how facilitators' prior experiences as mathematics teachers frame their work when facilitating a practice-based professional development (PD) for the first time. We focus on the experiences of a novice facilitator of StoryCircles, a professional learning process in which teachers collectively script and visualize a problem-based lesson, arguing about their rationales for different decisions connected to discussions of students' work. We situate the challenges the facilitator encountered by identifying the expectations that were not met while she was facilitating and offer possible connections to the PD design. We close by suggesting a perspective to account for facilitation challenges. [For the complete proceedings, see ED630210.]
