q2 · i? · review · r1

Practitioner perspectives in the primer identify these barriers: scaffolding and feedback take extra class time, curricular goals and accountability measures primarily reward repeating disciplinary core ideas, and teachers are not trained on how to do argumentation well. No quantitative data are printed.

"Argumentation provides benefits to students but can be challenging due to time constraints, a lack of fit with the curriculum, lack of teacher training, and a lack of system-level support."
