Download or read book Dispositional Development and Assessment in Teacher Preparation Programs written by von Hohenberg, Sara Clemm and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-05-27 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little research exists on teacher dispositions, yet accrediting bodies such as the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) require dispositional assessment as an integral part of teacher preparation programs. Furthermore, research has shown that dispositions are a key indicator in teacher success both in terms of instructional effectiveness and long-term retention. Teacher preparation programs require research examples and support in understanding the desired dispositions of teachers as well as how to implement these qualities and characteristics into a robust curriculum. Teacher preparation programs also need help in articulating how to assess dispositional traits of teachers and how to provide remediation in this area. Dispositional Development and Assessment in Teacher Preparation Programs addresses dispositional development for teachers including the definition, instruction, practical application, and assessment of dispositional traits. It includes research involving teacher development and preparation for the enhancement of instructional practices and teacher retention. Covering topics such as culturally relevant pedagogy, social emotional learning, and teaching philosophy, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for preservice teachers, teacher preparation programs, faculty and administration of K-12 and higher education, academic libraries, accrediting bodies, researchers, and academicians.

Download or read book Preparing Teachers for a Changing World written by Linda Darling-Hammond and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on rapid advances in what is known about how people learn and how to teach effectively, this important book examines the core concepts and central pedagogies that should be at the heart of any teacher education program. Stemming from the results of a commission sponsored by the National Academy of Education, Preparing Teachers for a Changing World recommends the creation of an informed teacher education curriculum with the common elements that represent state-of-the-art standards for the profession. Written for teacher educators in both traditional and alternative programs, university and school system leaders, teachers, staff development professionals, researchers, and educational policymakers, the book addresses the key foundational knowledge for teaching and discusses how to implement that knowledge within the classroom. Preparing Teachers for a Changing World recommends that, in addition to strong subject matter knowledge, all new teachers have a basic understanding of how people learn and develop, as well as how children acquire and use language, which is the currency of education. In addition, the book suggests that teaching professionals must be able to apply that knowledge in developing curriculum that attends to students' needs, the demands of the content, and the social purposes of education: in teaching specific subject matter to diverse students, in managing the classroom, assessing student performance, and using technology in the classroom.

This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regardless of the discipline or country, creating quality education is multifaceted. At the center of any schooling practice are the educators, their schools, and the teacher education programs that license them.

Vare, Marilyn Watson Matthew Sanger is associate professor of Educational Foundations in the College of Education at Idaho State University. Richard Osguthorpe is associate professor and chair of the Department of Curriculum, Instruction, and Foundational Studies at Boise State University. “The editors and contributors help us appreciate that many teachers come to the work precisely because of abiding moral commitments —to help others, to make a difference in the lives of the young, to give something back to society. But they also help us see how crucial it is to give candidates systematic support in coming to grips with the meaning of these commitments, and how to translate them into pedagogical action for the well-being of students and society alike.” —From the Foreword by David T. Hansen “This book sheds light into the core of professional morality. It should be a ‘must’ for each student teacher and for each practitioner around school life.” —Fritz Oser, professor of education and educational psychology, University of Fribourg, Switzerland “Lest we forget that teaching is inherently moral work, Sanger and Osguthorpe explain what this means for teachers and teacher educators. The combination of conceptual analysis and cases of teacher education practice make this book a valuable resource and welcome antidote to the current preoccupation with test scores.” —Sharon Feiman-Nemser, Brandeis University

Download or read book How Shall We Then Care written by Paul Shotsberger and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though much has been written about ethic of care and its importance in education, little is available to guide Christian educators who desire to demonstrate a disposition of care toward self, learners, colleagues, and community. As this book makes clear, a Christian ethic of care serves to illuminate our relationship with God while also helping to flesh out what care looks like in various contexts, including and especially teaching and teacher education. How Shall We Then Care? invites engagement with questions not just about what teachers should know about care, but about how they are to care for those in their circle of influence, what it means to care, what counts as care, what practices nurture care, and how care is experienced. The authors are teachers and teacher educators who, like you, have struggled to find answers to these questions. The settings for these explorations span the spectrum from K-12 classrooms to Christian and public higher education, covering issues such as trauma-informed classroom practice, the use of role-playing games for teaching ethics, the transition from teacher candidate to novice teacher, the crucial interface between care and inclusive education, and the vital role empathy plays in educational care.

This book was released on 2019-01-02 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the music classroom, instructors who hope to receive aid are required to provide data on their classroom programs. Due to the lack of reliable, valid large-scale assessments of student achievement in music, however, music educators in schools that accept funds face a considerable challenge in finding a way to measure student learning in their classrooms. From Australia to Taiwan to the Netherlands, music teachers experience similar struggles in the quest for a definitive assessment resource that can be used by both music educators and researchers. In this two-volume Handbook, contributors from across the globe come together to provide an authority on the assessment, measurement, and evaluation of student learning in music. The Handbook's first volume emphasizes international and theoretical perspectives on music education assessment in the major world regions. This volume also looks at technical aspects of measurement in music, and outlines situations where theoretical foundations can be applied to the development of tests in music. The Handbook's second volume offers a series of practical and US-focused approaches to music education assessment. Chapters address assessment in different types of US classrooms; how to assess specific skills or requirements; and how assessment can be used in tertiary and music teacher education classrooms. Together, both volumes of The Oxford Handbook of Assessment in Music Education pave the way forward for music educators and researchers in the field.
