- Description
- Having examined how analyses of statistical data were used to kick-start processes intended to promote equitable school development, this chapter goes on to explain how qualitative evidence was used to deepen these efforts. In particular, it explains how engaging with the voices of teachers can enhance understandings of practices and the conditions in which practices develop within schools. Using illustrations from projects within and across classrooms, the chapter identifies approaches that teachers used to challenge existing ways of thinking and develop new practices that make a real difference to students' learning and engagement. In addition to developing new understanding of their own practices, the chapter reveals how teachers shared their new knowledge and ideas to promote change among their colleagues. It concludes by distilling key principles for school leaders in supporting and sustaining equity-driven collaborative inquiry.
