The main argument is that what teachers learn from engaging in iterative PP are different task variables we refer to as “dimensions of possible variation.” Awareness of these dimensions allows teachers to skillfully generate new problems or re-formulate previously posed ones to achieve desired pedagogical goals. We show how, during a collaborative design process with the PD coordinator, a teacher-designer became aware of some new-to-her dimensions and developed corresponding techniques for diversifying tasks.
