• In Event: Cultivating Dialogue in Language and Literacy Teacher Education

Abstract

There is no question that lived experiences influence teacher practices, but even when professional development is available and teachers want to successfully implement new strategies, they are not always effective in doing so. This study considers how teachers learn and internalize new discussion techniques in ways that impact classroom practice.
