As educators we often encounter puzzles of practice that cause us to reflect—but what exactly do we choose to reflect upon? To make a difference for student learning, the focus of that reflection matters. In this interactive session, we will examine how using frameworks informed by learning theory and a culturally responsive orientation to motivation can: (i) guide the critical reflection of a puzzle of practice; (ii) help us bump into assumptions about students/teaching/learning that are worth reconsidering — such as shifting lens from an analysis of achievement gaps to an analysis of opportunity gaps; and (iii) inform a focus for further professional development that could make a difference for equitable student learning.
