30.070 - Knowledge to Action: Articulating and Enacting a Practice-Based Pedagogy for Teaching English Learners

Fri, April 28, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Grand Hyatt San Antonio, Floor: Second Floor, Lone Star Ballroom Salon E

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Despite efforts to provide equitable instruction to all learners, an achievement gap persists. One response to this disparity is an increased focus on the preparation of teachers to enact “core practices” (CPs) as an important way to provide “ambitious” instruction for all learners. However, there remains a significant gap in the scholarship on CPs related to identifying both critically important practices that teachers of English learners (ELs) must know how to enact, and ways of supporting teachers to learn to enact these practices. Building upon our previous cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional work, members of this panel explore how to enact ambitious pedagogies in the preparation and professional development of teachers of ELs, for more equitable educational outcomes.
