However, secondary teachers may feel unprepared to support secondary SWDs, which may reduce their likelihood of implementing evidence-based practices. Therefore, the authors investigated the influence of several preservice and in-service support factors on general and special education teachers’ perceived knowledge of evidence-based methods and where to access information on effective methods for serving secondary SWDs in the United States. Their secondary analysis revealed that multiple factors are associated with higher levels of perceived knowledge, such as participation in teacher preparation programs with an adequate focus on SWDs, regardless of teacher type. However, other factors, such as special education certification, were not related to teachers’ perceived knowledge. Given the influence of perceived knowledge on teacher implementation, these findings have important implications for researchers, teacher educators, and school and district administrators.KEYWORDS: Secondary educationevidence-based instructionteacher preparationprofessional development Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the RAND American Educator Panel.Notes on contributorsAlexandra SheltonAlexandra Shelton is an Assistant Professor of Special Education at Johns Hopkins University.

Protocols are tools for structuring teacher conversations in PLCs. In this article the authors present the results of a qualitative study of teacher perspectives about the value and effects of systematic protocol use. This investigation took place within the context of a Researcher–Practitioner Partnership situated in an urban school district that aims to bring culturally responsive computer science education to all K–5 students. Findings revealed that teachers believe use of protocols supplanted ‘chaotic’ conversation with critical dialogue and improved their instructional practices. Protocols appear to ameliorate common hindering factors to the realization of effective PLCs, including conflict avoidance, participation inequities, and lack of group purpose. An annotated list of protocols of especially high value, and that teachers used most frequently to advance their collaborative learning and professional development, is presented.KEYWORDS: Professional learning communitiesprotocolscollaborationresearch–practice partnerships Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the National Science Foundation [DRL 1837086].Notes on contributorsRebecca WoodlandRebecca H.

The findings show changes in the participant’s PD trajectories. These findings provide direction as to how teachers who wish to implement more MBP practices in the classroom to promote language development in children can be supported within the framework of such a program. For instance, the results match those of previous research as regards whether a program that uses evidence such as videos would be more effective in leading a participant to effect changes in their PD. The results also indicate that PD programs cannot be exclusively collective or individual, but benefit from combining the two approaches.","PeriodicalId":46208,"journal":{"name":"Teacher Development","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135597420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By analysing a practice-based typology of eight departmental types through an exploratory factor analysis of questionnaires completed by beginning teachers (n = 55), the authors refined the typology to four (hierarchical; open; self-promoting; divisive). Further exploration of this refined typology, through in-depth interviews with a purposive sample of six beginning teachers, allowed the authors to illustrate the departmental types in relation to their experiences. These findings highlight some of the ways in which new regimes of accountability and corporatisation are reshaping the ways in which departmental cultures are constructed and enacted. The beginning teachers in this study describe their responses and adaptations to their placement departments in ways that highlight opportunities for Initial Teacher Education partnerships to better anticipate and prepare beginning teachers for the departmentalised nature of their experiences.KEYWORDS: School departmentsculturedepartment leadershipdepartment typology Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsNick GeeNick Gee is the Dean of Faculty at Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln.Abigail ParrishAbigail Parrish is a Lecturer in Education at the University of Sheffield and a former modern foreign languages teacher.Steven PuttickSteve Puttick is Associate Professor of Teacher Education at the Department of Education, University of Oxford, and Fellow of St Anne’s College.","PeriodicalId":46208,"journal":{"name":"Teacher Development","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136237417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The researchers explored: 1) What are novice teachers’ levels of self-efficacy regarding readiness to teach as measured by the edTPA Teacher Survey? and 2) How do novice teachers perceive the edTPA process as an influence on their professional practices? A major outcome revealed new teachers are using mastery experiences to build efficacy and hone their craft in spite of their edTPA experience.
