Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium presents extensive research about the replicable practices, knowledge, and dispositions of highly effective teachers (HETs) who choose to teach historically marginalized youth. Presentations include qualitative studies of HETs of English learners, Black men in college who describe how HETs impacted their lives, perspectives and insights of HETs based on one-on-one interviews, a very successful tutoring program for Native American youth, and the ways in which principals support the work of HETs of marginalized students, as well as one quantitative study of how HETs strategically use group work. This symposium will also include an overview of the methodology for identifying and studying the HETs and a summary of key findings.
