66.087-2 - Empowering Teachers to Conduct Research in Their Classrooms: An Investigation of Teacher Inquiry Across Three Teacher Preparation/Professional Development Programs
Mon, April 8, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 800 Level, Hall GSession Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
Learning to teach linguistically diverse students requires sustained professional development. This 90-minute symposium addresses this need by focusing on how preservice teachers (PST) and inservice teachers (IST) implemented teacher inquiry projects across content areas in bilingual/multilingual K-6 classrooms. Teacher inquiry into student learning affords systematic and close examination of instructional practice, curricular tools, and student practices that may guide responsive curriculum design and instruction with greater goals of social justice and social change. This symposium presents four teacher inquiry projects that were conducted across three different universities located in New York and California. The collection of papers centrally examines how PSTs and ISTs engaged in agentive decision-making through teacher inquiry to meet their students’ academic and linguistic needs.
