Teacher Professional Dialogue for Justice-Oriented Practice: A Qualitative Action Research Study
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Antioch University
This study used a qualitative action research approach to engage a group of secondary English teachers in a collective inquiry to determine the best model for transformative teacher reflexivity and dialogue. Through solution-focused conversation, the goal was to design a sustainable framework for professional development that fosters creative, just, and compassionate instruction. The primary question explored was: What is an effective structure for sustained reflective dialogue among teachers in a comprehensive public high school? The action research model provided the context for a cyclical process of reflection, discovery, and growth. Findings of this study will form both a blueprint for future professional development at the research site and a model for professional teacher dialogue that may be replicated at other sites.
