Congratulations to Linda Katzman Palumbo who on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, successfully defended her dissertation proposal. The title of Linda’s study is TEACHER ENGAGEMENT IN THE PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: A QUALITATIVE STUDY.
Linda’s interpretive inquiry aims to understand how instructional decision makers (IDMs) engage teachers in the ever-important process of planning and implementing collective professional development. Through her research, Linda also will explore how IDMs’ descriptions of the outcomes of teacher-engaged professional development relate to Knowles' principles of adult learning. Linda's study promises to offer an enriched understanding of best practices toward teacher engagement in the PD process thereby enhancing teacher learning and, ultimately, student outcomes.
