| Abstract | What mathematics teachers believe about teaching ELLs affects which mathematics teaching practices they employ (Sztajn, 2003). This study compares beliefs of mathematics teachers from Illinois, Texas, and Wisconsin. Surveys and quantitative analysis methods are used to compare beliefs of teachers by district demographics (high ELL population vs. low ELL population) and region (Midwestern school districts vs. Southwestern school districts). It was found that teachers' beliefs about teaching ELLs mathematics were mostly similar regardless of comparison made. One main difference was that districts with low ELL populations looked for outside help to address challenges in teaching ELLs mathematics while high population ELL school districts relied more on their own teachers' expertise to address challenges. |
