Stories of Standards, Stories of Ourselves: Narrating the National Council of Teachers of English Beliefs About Integrating Technology Into Our Teacher Education Practices

• In Event: Navigating Tensions in Teacher Educator Practices

Abstract

In the present study, we considered the revised position statement Beliefs for integrating technology into the English Language Arts classroom (D-LITE, 2018) as part of the storying and re-storying of research and teacher education practice (Clandinin & Connelly 1999). As we worked to tell these stories, we wanted to understand, engage with, and even critique the beliefs in ways that improve our work. Our specific research question was: What do our stories about incorporating the beliefs about teaching with technology in ELA classrooms reveal about our identities as ELA teacher educators?
