TIP Fellows Present at Penn Ethnography Forum February 26, 2019

TIP Fellows Amanda Schear and Charlie McGeehan participated in The University of Pennsylvania’s 40th Ethnography in Education Research Forum, February 22 – 23, 2019 at the Graduate School of Education. This year’s theme, “The Future of Ethnography and Education: Methodologies, Equity, and Ethics” covered a wide range of topics in educational research, both local and international. The conference featured a full day of presentations and workshops led by educational practitioners.

Amanda Schear led a session entitled: “When Teachers Lead the Learning: An Inquiry Approach to Professional Development”. The session offered opportunities for participants to hear about the implementation of an inquiry model of schoolwide professional development at a Philadelphia public high school. Charlie McGeehan was a member of a panel entitled: “Reimagining Senior Project: Tackling Wicked Problems”. The session showcased the way the U School has reimagined the senior project process in order to make the resulting work richer and more complex.
