School-Based Preparatory and Retention Research Supporting Ambitious Pedagogies for High-Need Urban Schools

Mon, April 11, 7:45 to 9:15am, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 101

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

This session presents research that is salient to the work of cultivating teachers who are prepared for culturally and linguistically diverse populations and urban contexts. Culturally relevant and responsive frameworks serve as the backdrop for these critical pieces that contribute to the development of teachers who stay in urban schools and transform their institutions through ambitious pedagogical thinking and practices. A variety of research methods and perspectives (teacher educators, local-school administrators, classroom teachers, university supervisors) are included. Research on mentor teachers, teacher dispositions, teachers as change agents, and school-based practices points to the positive effect of the coordinated and collaborative nature of the preparation program on teachers’ persistence and effectiveness for the diverse students they serve.
