Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of low and inequitable student success rates among community college students in the United States through a focus on faculty and their learning related to pedagogy and instruction and the ways in which pedagogy and instruction are linked with student success. Employing a single case study design, and drawing on various theoretical threads from within the sociocultural learning perspective, this study examines the learning of a group of CTE faculty at one college who were engaged in a PD intervention that primarily involved the iterative co-design and implementation of a peer observation protocol and process. Findings are presented in respect to both the interpersonal and personal planes of learning.
