Abstract: Teachers' noticing of key aspects of instruction is an important skill for learning from and improving their teaching because noticing enables the opportunity for change. We investigated what teachers notice in short video clips of a real classroom teacher's interaction with students around a mathematics problem by conducting the largest survey study on teacher noticing to date. According to our analysis of data collected from 496 fourth- and fifth-grade teachers from 48 states, the key issues that were vital to improving teaching and students' learning caught the attention of only 13.7% of teachers. However, 67.5% of the teachers focused on interpreting issues around contentspecific teaching and learning, and 17.7% paid attention to general issues, such as the classroom climate.
