SUMMARY:סמינר: גב' אודליה שרירא (סיום דר') Agents o
 f change in action - The development of the professional identity of biolo
 gy coordinators who participate in VPLC when dealing with stress and crisi
 s situations.
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer:\n Location:\n Zoom: https://technion.zoom.us/j/928829
 90345\n World over\, the education system today is facing numerous challen
 ges that can lead to stress and crises. School leadership plays a central 
 role in fostering resilience. Thus\, the ways in which teacher leaders as 
 subject coordinators understand and enact their role is crucial. Identity 
 constitutes the basis for making decisions\, meaning making and designing 
 teaching methods. Professional support\, such as participation in professi
 onal learning communities\, is hence essential for these teacher leaders. 
 However\, little is known about the ways professional identity develops ov
 er time or the characteristics of the professional community that best con
 tribute to professional identity work and the wellbeing of its participant
 s. The aim of this dissertation was to explore the professional identity o
 f biology coordinators as reflected in the ways they deal with changes dur
 ing their participation in a virtual professional learning community (VPLC
 ) involved in adapting pedagogy to the digital age and overcoming professi
 onal challenges. This qualitative study examined the professional identity
  of biology coordinators from different high schools participating in a VP
 LC. The content analysis of in-depth interviews conducted with seven coord
 inators showed that professional identity played a key role in their abili
 ty to cope with challenges and crises. The strength of the community\, as 
 manifested in supporting and encouraging the formation of professional ide
 ntity\, also contributed to the resilience and well-being of its participa
 nts. The findings make theoretical and practical contributions to the fiel
 d of professional development of subject coordinators by providing a bette
 r understanding of how the professional identity of biology coordinators m
 anifests as agents of change in their schools\, and by distilling the char
 acteristics of the community that enable its participants to maintain thei
 r well-being and resilience in situations of stress and crisis.
