Abstract
Researchers have been attending to the potential of curriculum materials as resources for professional development. In order for a curriculum material to fulfil such purpose, curriculum authors should intentionally attend to educativeness of the material. A feature of educative material is that its voice speaks to teachers. In this study, I explore educativeness of Algebra teacher guides by attending to their voice. In particular, I focused on the use of pronouns, modality, and imperatives. Findings indicate that some teacher guides have more educative voice than the others and that the amount each guide talk to teachers were less than sufficient. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
