Having agreed to write some synthesis of the articles, I have chosen the metaphor of a braid, woven in different ways by different authors (co-researchers, doctoral students, colleagues, and friends). All speak of Terry’s basic humanity (my words) as they have appreciated her contributions, both personal and professional, to their lives and work. From this, I draw many threads and diverse weavings. Not least, I weave my own experiences of and with Terry in contributing to my own life and work. I borrow (from Hofstadter, 1999) the term “golden braid,” as I believe this special issue reflects, repeatedly, a “golden” braiding in our relationships with Terry.","PeriodicalId":48177,"journal":{"name":"Theory Into Practice","volume":"24 1","pages":"90 - 101"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84522289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the colleagues whom she invited to live in her home to the teachers she collaborated with to her son speaking of the ways his children’s grandma watched them become mathematics learners, it was clear that both her personal and professional life was dedicated to the field. The community that Terry created, inspired, and impacted is one that boldly and critically reflects on traditional methods, contributing to practical and lasting changes in the field. In particular, her work with social norms in the mathematics classroom and processes of argumentation inspires new teachers like me to embrace her ideas and vision and move them over the horizon, to see the field shift in positive directions and turn theories into practice.","PeriodicalId":48177,"journal":{"name":"Theory Into Practice","volume":"40 1","pages":"39 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79296889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I describe the excitement of finding a myriad of studies by Wood and peers which opened doors to potential changes in pedagogical practices to better meet the needs of Pāsifika and Māori students. I outline the essence of these many studies and how they have been foundational for current 21st century mathematics classrooms.

I also take up how social cognitive theory informed the lens I use in my current research.

What stood out from this process are the parallels between her words about constructivism, applied to the elementary mathematics classroom, and her ways of mentoring me into the space of mathematics education research, theory, and practice.

It is important to consider how to best facilitate the movement toward true online education as the situations we have experienced during the pandemic are not going to end. Many schools are regularly implementing virtual learning for circumstances that would traditionally cause a break in learning, such as snow days. In order to take advantage of all that virtual learning can offer, it is key to explore some of the most effective virtual learning practices.","PeriodicalId":48177,"journal":{"name":"Theory Into Practice","volume":"124 1","pages":"362 - 372"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78643241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article confronts the increasing censoring of curriculum (via book banning and other policies) that privileges White, unidimensional perspectives on language, culture, and curricular topics. Specifically, we suggest a critical inquiry framework (CIF) to guide how students read such text and that draws on the tenets of Yosso’s Cultural Wealth model. Our CIF is rooted in (1) student examination of the economic and political contexts of literary production and constructs of linguistic and cultural legibility, (2) critical engagement with the represented values of literature, and (3) research and critical engagement in the unrepresented and misrepresented values, languages, and cultures of the literary artifact. Collectively, these components contribute to a framework of how to engage traditionally canonical texts in ways that are culturally sustaining and revitalizing by troubling the assumed neutrality of such literature. The article demonstrates the utility of the CIF in its application to sample text; F. Scott’s Fitzgerald’s essay “Winter Dreams.” We offer consideration for pedagogy and other mediating issues.","PeriodicalId":48177,"journal":{"name":"Theory Into Practice","volume":"115 1","pages":"373 - 383"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79418725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
