Collaborative Action Rearch Context

As described in the context section, I produced three versions of my TRG case on the Rule of 3. In a way they convey the intellectual history of my "school year scholarship." As in the past, I am currently using these versions of the case, video of TRG meetings, and various sources of educational research/theory as a basis for more indepth scholarship and writing on this topic. Only the reflective writing directed to TRG members is included here. As noted in the context section, the cases also included video, work samples, and a variety of case related readings that are not here.

...The use of the Rule of 3 can be seen as a way to provide students with multiple strengths new ways to access the mathematical topics that we are studying....

Enriching the Mathematical Experiences of All Students Through the Routine Use of the Rule of 3 (pdf)
This is the “Revised Case” reflection that I sent to TRG members about 3 months after the rough case. It includes expanded rationale, new/old instructional issues, my questions for the group, and a listing of other components that were a part of the complete case.

Summative Thoughts on the Rule of 3 Case (pdf)
This “State of the Case” was prepared at the end of the school year to share with TRG members. It synthesizes some of my ideas related to Rule of 3 work, but also posits what might happen next year in terms of case related work.
