Division K Fireside Chat. Relevance to Practice: Designing (Graduate) Research on Teacher Education for Equity and Justice

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Div K is inspired by Gutiérrez and Penuel’s (Educational Researcher, 2014) assertion that, “consequential research on meaningful and equitable educational change requires a focus on persistent problems of practice, examined in their context of development, with attention to ecological resources and constraints, including why, how, and under what conditions programs and policies work” (p. 19). This Fireside Chat will help Graduate Students who are interested in designing research studies in the area of teacher education that enact the principles Gutiérrez and Penuel speak of in their article. The dialogue with the authors will be invaluable to many graduate students who are thinking about how their scholarship can be relevant to practice and social change in teaching and teacher education.
