Investigating the Promise of Network Improvement Communities to Improve Teacher Preparation Research and Practice
Fri, April 22, 11:30am to 1:00pm PDT (11:30am to 1:00pm PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: North Building, Lobby Level, Marriott Grand Ballroom 12Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
Recognizing the power of improvement science to advance equity in teacher preparation, we developed a network improvement community to improve the preparation of teacher candidates to teach multilingual learners. Sitting at the nexus of research and practice, networked improvement communities enable teacher educators to identify shared problems of practice and develop a systemic approach to collectively test out and study new practices. Little is known, however, about how participation in a NIC impacts teacher educators and their local sites. We ask how participation in the network supported teacher educators’ local improvement efforts, and how these efforts contribute to the knowledge base about how teacher preparation can design and measure their efforts to advance equity and justice in teacher preparation.
