Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have adopted a reform agenda for their schools that calls for excellence in teaching and learning. School officials across the nation are hard at work targeting instruction at high levels for all students. Gaps remain, however, between the nation's educational aspirations and student achievement. To address these gaps, policy makers have recently focused on the qualifications of teachers and the preparation of teacher candidates. This book examines the appropriateness and technical quality of teacher licensure tests currently in use, evaluates the merits of using licensure test results to hold states and institutions of higher education accountable for the quality of teacher preparation and licensure, and suggests alternatives for developing and assessing beginning teacher competence. Teaching is a complex activity. Definitions of quality teaching have changed and will continue to change over time as society's values change. This book provides policy makers, teacher testers, and teacher educators with advice on how to use current tests to assess teacher candidates and evaluate teacher preparation, ensuring that America's youth are being taught by the most qualified candidates.
Download or read book The Politics of Competence written by John Merrow and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extent to which we are being shaped by the "competency-based" concept in the training and licensing of teachers is the topic of this volume. The central statement "The Politics of Competence: A Review of Competency-Based Teacher Education," provides a review and interpretation of activity nationally. (The importance of this activity can be underscored by the estimate that hundreds of thousands of educator-person years are being consumed by this movement.) This statement is followed by a series of perspectives by people who either helped shape the "competency-based" concept, or who are now responding to the concept's shaping force. The general purpose of the National Institute of Education in publishing a volume such as this one is to raise the level of public debate on contemporary issues in education. To this end, the format followed is to review and interpret a national activity, followed by perspectives from major interested parties.

Download or read book Preparing Teachers for Deeper Learning written by Linda Darling-Hammond and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preparing Teachers for Deeper Learning answers an urgent call for teachers who educate children from diverse backgrounds to meet the demands of a changing world. In today’s knowledge economy, teachers must prioritize problem-solving ability, adaptability, critical thinking, and the development of interpersonal and collaborative skills over rote memorization and the passive transmission of knowledge. Authors Linda Darling-Hammond and Jeannie Oakes and their colleagues examine what this means for teacher preparation and showcase the work of programs that are educating for deeper learning, equity, and social justice. Guided by the growing knowledge base in the science of learning and development, the book examines teacher preparation programs at Alverno College, Bank Street College of Education, High Tech High’s Intern Program, Montclair State University, San Francisco Teacher Residency, Trinity University, and University of Colorado Denver. These seven programs share a common understanding of how people learn that shape similar innovative practices. With vivid examples of teaching for deeper learning in coursework and classrooms; interviews with faculty, school partners, and novice teachers; surveys of teacher candidates and graduates; and analyses of curriculum and practices, Preparing Teachers for Deeper Learning depicts transformative forms of teaching and teacher preparation that honor and expand all students’ abilities, knowledges, and experiences, and reaffirm the promise of educating for a better world.
