The analysis of a subset of studies revealed a small non-significant weighted training effect on teachers' cognition (g' = 0.21, SE = 0.14). An effect aggregation including all studies (with 650 teachers) revealed a medium to large weighted overall effect on teachers' classroom practices (g' = 0.71, SE = 0.16). Methodological variables moderated the effect magnitude. Nevertheless, the results suggest professional development is beneficial for improving teachers' practice.}, language = {en} } @misc{KalinowskiGronostajVock2019, author = {Kalinowski, Eva and Gronostaj, Anna and Vock, Miriam}, title = {Effective Professional Development for Teachers to Foster Students' Academic Language Proficiency Across the Curriculum}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {543}, issn = {1866-8364}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-42721}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-427219}, pages = {23}, year = {2019}, abstract = {This review summarizes features of professional development programs that aim to prepare in-service teachers to improve students' academic language proficiency when teaching subject areas.
