Understanding the Professional Development Needs of Teachers in Tribally Controlled Schools: A Phenomenological Study

Emmons·2020·Journal of American Indian Education

Abstract

This article reports on the experiences of 11 teachers attending professional development workshops at four tribally controlled schools in three states, with the goal of identifying the professional needs of these teachers. With limited access to high-quality professional development programming, it is important to assess the needs of teachers at tribal schools by better understanding their experiences in professional development. Three major themes emerged from the study highlighting teacher professional development needs in tribal schools: subject and pedagogical relevance, community building, and desire for improvement.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
