Core Practices in Teacher Education
An exploration of teacher education programs around the world finds common focus in the use of core practices to better prepare teachers for the classroom
Focused Lesson Planning
This book shows teachers how to plan units and lessons in a highly focused and effective way. Readers are introduced to a professional planning strategy that is lean and timesaving, without wasting energy on side issues. This approach takes as its starting point the students and the outcomes they need to achieve and focuses the entire planning process on making sure students will be successful. With this backward approach, all planning steps are focused on the goal of learning success, keeping teachers from overplanning, underplanning, or misplanning. The book highlights the importance of tasks as planning tools for teachers. Well-set tasks reveal the teacher's intentions and the content to be learned, and they show students what will be assessed and how. How to develop and apply planning around meaningful tasks is a key focus. Thanks to numerous suggestions for learning activities, this book is suitable for independent work through,but it can also be used with profit by teacher educators and cooperating teachers.
Core Practices of Successful Teachers
Teachers who acquire elaborate core practices intuitively make the best decisions in the classroom. They rely on expertise that enables them not only to master the daily and often complex challenges of the profession, but to teach in ways that help students make the best possible progress. They recognize core practices as the key components of adaptive and successful teaching, in such areas as supporting students, diagnosing difficulties, providing feedback, guiding conversations, explaining, and more. Core Practices of Successful Teachers: Supporting Learning and Managing Instruction explores core practices that enable educators to teach in the best possible way for the benefit of students. Via a variety of suggestions and activities, this book shows pre-service and in-service teachers how to not only learn about and understand numerous core practices, but also how to engage with, develop, reflect on, and improve them.
Teachers' Professional Development
Within the central topics of the debate on teachers’ professionalism are the problems of research-based and evidence-based initial and lifelong teacher behavior. Although the statements on professional similarities of teacher actions with those of other (academic) professionals are very plausible, there remains a central task for teacher education programs: How to develop towards such expertise—which is equal to evidence convictions—effectively and efficiently. Which role do scientific research and its results play in this context? How can research results be converted into recommendations for teacher actions? The contributions to this book focus on central problems of the conversion p...
Handbook of Research on Program Development and Assessment Methodologies in K-20 Education
As the educational system continues to evolve, it is essential that educators of today devise innovative and strategic approaches to program development and assessment. The Handbook of Research on Program Development and Assessment Methodologies in K-20 Education is an essential reference source for the latest terminology and concepts related to program development. Featuring extensive coverage on a broad range of topics such as cognitive diagnostic assessments, self-directed learning, and digital education, this publication is ideally designed for educators, students, program designers, and librarians seeking current research on inventive strategies and practices to enhance education in the 21st century.
Supporting Teachers: Improving Instruction
In the last decades, progress in the field of pre-service and in-service teacher education has been evident. Despite the developments of curriculum programs, models and designs, various challenges are shaping the field. Models of teacher education are usually presented as 'research-based', but related research is often invisible or fragmented. The 'support for teachers' and the 'improvement of instruction' are only loosely coupled and their interdependence is not highlighted. These challenges were the impetus to initiate this publication. Individual approaches, models or designs of pre-service and in-service teacher education developed by the authors (action research, video clubs, lesson studies, and others) are introduced and their impact and shortcomings for further development are specified. In the concluding chapter, a reflective discussion across individual approaches to reveal particular issues that are shaping the field is provided. Practitioners as well as researchers in the field of teacher education can benefit from this book.
„Grau, theurer Freund, ist alle Theorie“?
Schul- und Berufspraktische Studien stellen für alle deutschsprachigen Studiengänge zum Lehrberuf ein zentrales Element dar, das sich zunehmend als eigenständiger akademischer Gegenstandsbereich konturiert. Im vorliegenden Band wird der Versuch unternommen, in theoretischer, methodologischer und methodischer Hinsicht eine erste Systematisierung desselben vorzunehmen. Der Band dient damit „nach innen“ einer diskursiven Vergewisserung bezüglich relevanter und erkenntnisversprechender theoretischer Bezugnahmen sowie einer Weiterentwicklung und Fokussierung der Erkenntniswege im Studienbereich. „Nach außen“ nimmt der Band eine aktuelle Bestandsaufnahme vor und dokumentiert das Potenzial der institutionellen Einbindung des Studienbereichs in die Studiengänge zum Lehrberuf.
Forschungsperspektiven 10
Die 17 Beiträge des von 39 Autorinnen und Autoren mitgestalteten Bandes der Forschungsperspektiven greifen Diskurse aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen und Perspektiven der Professionalisierungsprozesse von Lehrerinnen und Lehrern auf. Diese umfassen sowohl Herausforderungen in der Gestaltung von Hochschullehre - am Beispiel der Lehramtsstudien der Primar- und Sekundarstufe - als auch konkrete Beispiele aus dem Praxisfeld Schule und Unterricht.
