Coaching for Equity: This inquiry is designed for teacher educators who continuously put equity issues on the table: raising awareness in the minds of novice teachers, asking courageous questions, modeling self reflection on issues of equity, and modeling continuous confrontation of the complex issues of difference that are central to our schools and society. While there are no magic bullets for this work, this inquiry is designed to develop the conceptual understanding and skills to support teacher leaders in this effort. Prerequisite: Inquiry into Instructional Coaching and Mentoring and Foundations of Instructional Coaching OR Faculty Permission.
