Reflexive and Engaged Policy Studies: Critical Policy Research With K–12 Teachers and Teacher Educators

Fri, April 12, 11:25am to 12:55pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 104A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium showcases research on teacher policy advocacy with particular attention to reflective practice and the application of research to action, two key elements of critical policy studies (Marshall, 1997; Taylor, 1997). Presentations from educational settings across the country share findings from lines of inquiry such as teacher sensemaking around policy advocacy and teacher responses to curricular control, among others. In each presentation, researchers foreground the purposeful integration of critical reflection and the translation of research to practice in addition to their learnings from engaged critical policy work. The session structure emphasizes discussion by the discussant, panelists, and session attendees.
