External reform initiatives and teachers' efforts to reconstruct their practice: The mediating role of teachers' zones of enactment
Abstract
This paper considers the interplay of teachers' capacity and will to reconstruct their mathematics practice with teachers' incentives and opportunities to learn as these are mobilized by the school system and agencies beyond the formal system. Comparing those teachers in the study who had changed the core of their practice substantially with those teachers who had not, it is argued that teachers' zones of enactment play a crucial role in their implementation of instructional reform. The zones of enactment of those teachers who had changed the core of their practice are characterized and it is conjectured that the extent to which teachers revise their practice will depend on the characteristics of their zones of enactment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
