Fri, April 4, 8:15 to 10:15am, Convention Center, Floor: 100 Level, 114Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
A theory of Professional Capital in education has recently been developed to advance a new way to think about and promote the large-scale transformation of teaching in educational systems in the US and internationally. This session brings together leading thinkers and researchers to provide empirical substantiation for the concept of Professional Capital, as well as two young scholars who have applied the concept of Professional Capital to understand how the teaching profession can be revitalized in emerging economies around the world and in rural and isolated schools in the US.
