Centering Teachers’ Equitable Participation in Professional Development: Partnership Approaches in Chile and the U.S.

Sun, April 12, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 4th Floor, Diamond 9

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This interactive symposium showcases four Research-Practice Partnerships (RPP), two from Chile and two from the US, that center teachers’ equitable participation in their professional development (PD) within school improvement efforts. These partnership projects portray different forms of PD (i.e., teacher leaders’ PD facilitation, short improvement cycles, lesson study, and co-design) unpacking the implications of how teachers are positioned. We seek to open a transformative conversation across countries to imagine possibilities for PD approaches that go beyond seeing teachers as implementers of external reforms. The format includes an introduction to Chilean and US contextual implications for teacher PD and RPP approaches, followed by four teams’ presentations, two discussants’ remarks, discussion prompts for the attendees, and a Q&A segment.
