AbstractAs part of a four-year professional development program centered on increasing special education faculty members’ cultural responsiveness, the faculty members interviewed culturally and/or linguistically diverse (CLD) teacher candidates nearing completion of the special education program at a large Western university. The interviews, which focused on the candidates’ experiences during their time in the program, were conducted in the candidates’ homes. Each interview was audio and/or videotaped and transcribed verbatim, then analyzed using the inductive analysis design for qualitative research. The CLD candidates described types of learning activities and professor behaviors that had helped them to be successful. They also contributed suggestions to benefit future CLD candidates, including recommendations for professors and for the program as a whole.

Students who are mathematics teacher candidates have different mathematical communication skills. They carry out mathematics learning when doing teaching practice. Their mathematical communication skills greatly influence the communication that is implemented into mathematics learning in the classroom. This study aims to describe the mathematical communication profile of female students who are mathematics teacher candidates. The participant of this study was a female teacher candidate who was carrying out teaching practice (PPL) at the training school. Data collection was done by recording the implementation of learning, which was presented through learning video transcripts and analyzed by data reduction, data displaying, and interpretation-verification. The results of this study are prospective female teachers always ask students to repeat their answers, to ensure the answers mentioned. This has resulted in the fact that female mathematics teacher candidates are not strict in making decisions, seem rambling in making decisions. The nonverbal communication of female teacher candidates is a clear voice heard throughout the class; ways/gestures, movements of appearance and facial expressions show calmness and smile to students, so learning flows smoothly.

This article describes an innovation in an elementary mathematics education course called SEE Math (Support and Enrichment Experiences in Mathematics), which aims to support teacher candidates (TCs) as they learn to teach mathematics through problem solving while promoting equity during multiple experiences with a child. During this 8-week program, TCs craft and implement tasks that promote problem solving in the context of a case study of a child’s thinking while collecting and analyzing student data to support future instructional decisions. The program culminates in a mock parent–teacher conference. Data samples show how SEE Math offers TCs an opportunity to focus on the nuances of children’s strengths rather than traditional measures of achievement and skill.
