Time: 1:00 - 2:00 PM ET
Classroom-level problems of practice are usually bigger than just classroom level.
F or example, a high school reading teacher whose students desperately don’t want to be in her class aren’t reacting to just their immediate circumstanc es, but also to their previous struggles with reading, the stigma associate d with it, the extra challenges of a reading intervention with block schedu ling, and so on.
As another example, a small-town high school Spanish teacher may worry about the appropriateness of her preparation for working with heritage learners of Spanish. But that raises questions about pre-ser vice preparation, in-service professional development, district expertise r elated to Spanish instruction, and more.
For both of these cases, our presenters will describe the evolution of their Problems of Practice as th ey encountered additional pertinent dimensions from inside and outside the classroom. Presenters will also describe the ways their DiPs were applied d esign practical experiments, not just more detached scholarly inquiries.
