We describe the design of a four-day workshop, our analytic process, and how three teachers made sense of and deepened their sensemaking of students' epistemic agency. Although the three teachers began with different conceptions of epistemic agency, each of them shifted their conceptions over the course of the workshop, toward a deeper reflection of how talk, tasks, and teacher moves support or hamper opportunities to let students co-construct ideas. We conclude with a discussion of the implications and future directions for our work.</p>","PeriodicalId":519983,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on the Learning Sciences ...","volume":"2025 ","pages":"297-304"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12224640/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144562553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study of teacher learning, we analyze an experienced group of practicing Storylines teachers' use of metaphor to describe the roles and responsibilities of students and teachers in curriculum enactment. We found that every metaphor that teachers used to describe the uses of Storylines curriculum entailed a sort of <i>wayfinding</i>: a destination, a timeframe, a place, a journey, or the students' or teachers' respective position in that pursuit. These findings continue to indicate the usefulness of metaphor in foregrounding the central role that students play in NGSS-aligned instruction/materials, as well as the institutional forces that shape how curriculum materials get enacted inside the classroom. This study builds and contributes to current scholarship that aims to support teachers in reconceptualizing their role, relationship to students, and the institution of schooling, in the context of constructivist curricula.</p>","PeriodicalId":519983,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on the Learning Sciences ...","volume":"2024 ","pages":"370-377"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11250692/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141629651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
