Description

This Dissertation in Practice (DIP) was a group dissertation as required by the Doctorate in Educational Leadership program and created a new form of educator development called the Virtual Educator Network (VEN). This DIP examined the VENs' impact on educators' attitudes towards inclusion, feelings of support, and incorporation of new strategies to solve problems of practice they find important. The VEN is a form of professional development that pulls from adult learning theory (Knowles, 1968), social learning theory (Bandura & Walters, 1977), and affective neuroscience (Immordino-Yang, 2011) to bring educators together to learn from each other and discuss issues in their practice. Our amorphous (Tan, 2020) structure, defined as allowing membership across organizational boundaries, connects educators from different backgrounds, levels, and contexts. In the process, these educators build trust that leads to a willingness to share ideas and try new strategies that impact their practice. The ultimate goal of this network is to transform teacher practices to positively impact student outcomes.Initially, researchers focused on educator issues concerning inclusion of students with special needs; however, the COVID-19 pandemic shifted the study to broader issues reflective of educating students during a pandemic. The findings of this constructivist (Mertens, 2019), convergent design mixed methods study (J. W. Creswell & Plano-Clark, 2017) reveal that creating a safe space, building relationships, and facilitating discussions are foundational components for educators forming strong ties during the VEN. The VEN's routines of interaction (Coburn, 2013) enable participants to contextualize problems and rely on others' expertise in order to generate a variety of solutions. This research has implications for educators and creators of professional development who seek to impact teacher practice in meaningful ways.
