Session Type: Symposium
Educators and researchers strive to improve the quality of classroom instruction for all students across disciplines. Scholars have documented teachers’ needs for ongoing, job-embedded professional development (Darling-Hammond & Richardson, 2009; Stoelinga & Mangin, 2010). This symposium examines how formal structures support teacher leaders to foster rich academic interactions with teachers that inquire deeply into content and pedagogy, and support teachers’ development of effective instructional practices. The four empirical papers focus on: leveraging of position, expertise and advocacy for English learner instruction and teacher learning of ambitious science practices; tools and organizational routines established in formal teacher collaborative settings that shape elementary mathematics discourse; and a transformative coaching routine regarding the development of ambitious teaching practices.
