Community of Practice, Community of Support: IHE Teacher Preparation Using a Servingness Professional Development Model for Creating Community
Amyk Conley
Educational Renaissance, v12 p1-7 2023
In order to humanize and connect future educators across programs, this case study explains how a Northern California four-year university created a weekly professional development speaker series, Teachers, Eduleaders, Advocates, and Scholars (TEAS). TEAS aims to connect future educators to current practitioners to better meet the needs of PK-12 students and use a "servingness" model to meet the needs of diverse future educators. While TEAS has been successful at connecting educators across programs and humanizing education, an unexpected benefit has been educators that appear more confident in joining the profession.
