Distributed Leadership to Sustain Literacy Learning for Teachers and Adolescents: Lessons Across Time and Contexts

Sun, April 14, 11:25am to 12:55pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 110B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Secondary teachers can interrupt inequity in education by establishing climates of respect, collaboration, and critical thinking in their classrooms. However, to create respectful, inquiry oriented classrooms, teachers must experience, understand, and have support to practice the research based activities that support this kind of environment. This symposium will present findings from multiple studies of Reading Apprenticeship, a professional learning model and instructional framework for middle and high school educators that has sought to give teachers just this kind of experience centered around the work with challenging, disciplinary texts. Overall, the findings to date indicate that the field must invest in in-person, discipline-specific professional learning at multiple institutional levels to yield results in teacher practice change and student learning outcomes.
