The literature review on professional development programs has shown that providing professional learning to general education teachers where they can be more informed about working with multilingual students is effective in changing teacher attitudes and beliefs (Master, Loeb, Whitney, & Wyckoff, 2016; Mellom, Straubhaar, Balderas, Ariail, & Portes, 2018; Pettit, 2011). Unfortunately, there is a lack of literature that addresses the area of changes in professional practice when participating in training designed for teachers of multilingual students. This dissertation investigated a two-year professional development program specifically designed for teachers of multilingual students. The purpose of the professional development was to guide teachers in designing appropriate instruction to support language use in teaching multilingual students. This study aimed to provide further information on how teachers (1) generated and analyzed their own data to design appropriate instruction for multilingual students, (2) how they envisioned supporting student language learning within different classroom contexts, and (3) how or whether the professional development program influenced the ways in which teachers connected their new understandings to their practice in the classroom. To conduct this study, I used case study methodology to explore how qualitative research could prove useful for analyzing teacher learning. I relied on the model of the basic structure of the activity system (Engestrom, 1987, 1990, 1999) as an analytic framework and the concept of "boundary crossing" (proposed by Engestrom et al., 1995) for analyzing how two teams of educators deal with contradictions, negotiations, and resolutions as they improve and change their professional practice. Through the lens of reflective practice as a conceptual framework, I explored the impact of reflection on teachers' practice as they engage in the joint production of artifacts. Both frameworks helped to investigate the learning process of professionals in the construction of critical reflection, knowledge, and changes in practice. The present study informs educators, researchers, and stakeholders of the affordances and limitations of providing professional development opportunities specifically for educators that serve multilingual students where they can reflect critically and address potential contradictions between their paradigm and praxis as they implement new learning tools to their practice. .
