35.071 - Making Filipina/o Students' Voices Matter: Pin@y Educational Partnerships' Teacher Participatory Action Research

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session focuses on the development of an innovative research methodology known as “Teacher Participatory Action Research” (TPAR) developed in a Filipina/o American Studies pipeline called Pin@y Educational Partnerships (PEP). TPAR is informed by critical pedagogy, qualitative inquiry, and community responsive pedagogy. Building on this year’s conference theme, this panel demonstrates engaged social justice research across the educational pipeline. This session will include four papers, each focusing on TPARs at specific grade level beginning with college, then high school, middle school, and also elementary school. Through TPAR, we offer ways that educators, teachers, and students together can work towards deep transformative change in their schools and communities.
