• In Event: e-Lightening Ed-Talk Session 11 - Stage 2

Abstract

During and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the professional culture of schools has undergone significant changes, leading to increased isolation among teachers. The literature highlights substantial needs, particularly among new teachers—both novices and those with prior experience—who are encountering unprecedented challenges. This research aims to develop and implement a novel inservice collaborative model called Place-Based Community Specific Teacher Education (PBCSITE). Grounded in Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), PBCSITE leverages community resources and partnerships to enhance student success. Utilizing a Dialectic Action Research Spiral Model, the researcher collaborates with administrators, VT, new teachers, and CM to identify project focus areas and gather various data types, including interviews and field notes, as PBCSITE unfolds throughout the school year
