Abstract

Equity-centered professional learning for teachers has been a frequent topic of research and debate in recent years. Significant scholarship points to the importance of equity-based understandings for teachers, especially those serving minoritized students. Although there is considerable research about providing equity-centered professional learning for pre-service teachers, much less exists on this topic as it relates to in-service teachers, and still less that focuses not on equity-centered pedagogy, but on equity dispositions for teachers. In this paper, I conduct a systematic review of research on equity-centered professional learning for K-12 in-service teachers in peer reviewed articles published between 2004-2024, examining how the research has taken up professional learning around equity-centered teacher dispositions, and exploring directions for further study.
