About the workshop

A hands-on crash course in practice-based teacher education

The Introduction to Practice-Based Teacher Education Workshop enables teacher educators to develop a repertoire of approaches to making teaching practices explicit to beginning teachers and engaging them in supported practice during pre-service training.

Engage with decompositions of teaching practice

Develop your ability to use decompositions to make teaching practice explicit to and learnable by teacher candidates.

Learn to use the Learning Cycle

Get an introduction to the Learning Cycle, and learn to employ it to identify and sequence practice-based pedagogies.

Explore teacher education pedagogies

Explore teacher education pedagogies such as simulated student interaction and using video or transcripts to see and analyze teaching practice.

Why does practice-based teacher education matter for creating a more just society?

New and developing teachers need opportunities to see and actively intervene on patterns and behaviors that produce injustice in classrooms and in society. Practice-based teacher education pedagogies provide pathways for new and developing teachers to make these connections in their teaching practice.
