Designing Transformative Research for Systemic Change in Teaching and Learning

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

This session focuses on research designed to transform educational systems by studying central issues of equity in collaboration with practitioners, community members, and policymakers. The research studies the work of exemplar teacher education programs developing culturally sustaining and responsive capacities in teachers, then follows graduates to study their instructional strategies in distinctive social contexts. Teacher education programs are partners in the research and members of a community of practice supporting shared learning. Local community members advise the study. Print and video products will be used to support learning opportunities for practitioners, and implications will be considered by a learning community of state agencies for translation into accreditation and licensing standards.
