Teacher Inquiry for Equity: Collaborating to Improve Teaching and Learning
By: Linda Friedrich, Marilyn McKinney
Publication: Language Arts
Date: March 2010
Summary: This article argues that while inquiry is a necessary tool for focusing on learning, collaborative structures are essential if this work is to be focused on equity and improving learning for underserved students.
Excerpt from Article
On the one hand, establishing appropriate levels of respect, honesty, and commitment to equity within a group supports teachers as they rise to the challenge of examining why students fail and how their own beliefs, assumptions, and practices may contribute to patterns of inequity. On the other hand, norms may dampen frank and difficult discussions that need to occur in order to change practice and improve student learning."
