Additionally, theNational Council of Teachers of Mathematics names spatial skills as a necessary skill to develop,yet the curricula in K-12 education often does not explicitly teach these skills [2]. Currently, alarge Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) is underway to do just that – explicitly teach spatialskills. As part of the RCT, we examined the implementation process from the teachers’ point-of-view. Specifically, this paper analyzes teachers’ concerns when they implemented the spatial skillscurriculum in grade 7 science and mathematics classrooms. The spatial curriculum consists of 9 modules with each module containing a short lecture,a video demonstration

demarcated, which makes contextual conditions important tothe analysis [8]. A case study methodology is not bound by any specific type of data but, more sothan other methodologies (e.g. historical, laboratory, etc.), requires the convergence of differenttypes of data sources for strengthening the validity and accuracy of the findings [8]. This meansthat case study research often requires multiple research methods for collecting data. One way that validity can be constructed in case study research is through the process ofcomparing and converging multiple sources of evidence, otherwise known as “triangulation” [8].For the case of Julie’s teaching and coaching, data included field notes, audio and visual materi-als (i.e. digital audio
