Chapter 8: Teachers Teaching Teachers

This chapter explores the positive impact that the intersections of practitioner researchers’ identities can have on teachers’ engagement with their work. It considers the impact of being an insider through having a shared racial, cultural and professional experience with the teachers that research is being shared with. It explores the impact of being an insider on the level of authority that a practitioner-researcher is afforded by teachers and on the ways in which the teachers’ respond to practitioner-researchers’ research. The chapter explores these issues through a reflection on positive observations that a Black, female, teacher made from her Continuous Professional Development (CPD) sessions with teachers on the adultification of Black girls.
