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 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-07-25 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers make a difference. The success of any plan for improving educational outcomes depends on the teachers who carry it out and thus on the abilities of those attracted to the field and their preparation. Yet there are many questions about how teachers are being prepared and how they ought to be prepared. Yet, teacher preparation is often treated as an afterthought in discussions of improving the public education system. Preparing Teachers addresses the issue of teacher preparation with specific attention to reading, mathematics, and science. The book evaluates the characteristics of the candidates who enter teacher preparation programs, the sorts of instruction and experiences teacher candidates receive in preparation programs, and the extent that the required instruction and experiences are consistent with converging scientific evidence. Preparing Teachers also identifies a need for a data collection model to provide valid and reliable information about the content knowledge, pedagogical competence, and effectiveness of graduates from the various kinds of teacher preparation programs. Federal and state policy makers need reliable, outcomes-based information to make sound decisions, and teacher educators need to know how best to contribute to the development of effective teachers. Clearer understanding of the content and character of effective teacher preparation is critical to improving it and to ensuring that the same critiques and questions are not being repeated 10 years from now.
