Author: A Model for Evaluating Teacher Education Programs
Author: Elizabeth NelliPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
Prior to presenting a model for evaluating teacher education progams, it is pointed out that five major issues must be settled before attempting an evaluation: (1) the evaluation's purpose; (2) clients or audience; (3) specific questions to investigate; (4) use of an internal or external evaluator or a combination; and (5) dissemination of the evaluation and types of decisions to be made based on its results. The matrix of the model includes the following elements: (1) the philosophy and basic purposes of the program; (2) objectives or intended outcomes of the evaluation; (3) collection and assessment of data; (4) characteristics of students, faculty, college policy, program budget, and administration; (5) interactions between mentors and students in the actual working curriculum; (6) outcomes attributable to the program; (7) external factors impinging on the program; (8) standards against which the program's quality or value are measured; and (9) judgments on the quality, value, or effectiveness of the program and its components. These elements, their interpretations, and their interrelations are described and discussed. Four examples are given demonstrating how the model might be applied in actual evaluations. (JD)

Integrative and Interdisciplinary Curriculum in the Middle School
Author: Lisa HarrisonPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000044963
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
Originally published as a special issue of the Middle School Journal, this book presents integrative curriculum as a foundational element of the middle school. By addressing the current gap in literature on curriculum integration in the middle grades, this text explores how learning can be organized around authentic concepts or questions which cut across disciplines and speak to young adolescents. Providing a current, nuanced, and comprehensive review of what it means to embrace and implement an interdisciplinary and integrative curriculum, the volume considers how educators can create and deliver a high-quality integrative curriculum which is enjoyable, challenging, and inclusive. Examples of implementation in teacher preparation programs and middle grade classrooms showcase integrative approaches and illustrate how curricula have been key in tackling social inequities, increasing engagement with STEM, and supporting collaboration. This text will be of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students, researchers, academics and libraries in the field of Middle School Education, Curriculum Studies, Teacher Education, Theories of Learning, and STEM Education.

Teaching Toward a Decolonizing Pedagogy
Author: Victoria F. TrinderPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000038149
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Honorable Mention-2021 Society of Professors of Education Outstanding Book Award Teaching Toward a Decolonizing Pedagogy outlines educational practitioner development toward decolonizing practices and pedagogies for anti-racist, justice-based urban classrooms. Through rich personal narratives of one teacher’s critical reflections on her teaching, urban education scholarship and critical praxis are merged to provide an example of anti-racist urban schooling. Steeped in theoretical practice, this book offers a narrative of one teacher’s efforts to decolonize her urban classroom, and to position it as a vehicle for racial and economic justice for marginalized and minoritized students. At once a model for deconstructing the white institutional space of US schooling and a personal account of obstacles to these efforts, Teaching Toward a Decolonizing Pedagogy presents a research-based ‘pueblo pedagogy’ that reconsiders teacher identity and teachers’ capacities for resilience, resistance, and community-based instruction. From this personal exploration, emergent and practicing teachers can extract curricula, practices, and dispositions toward advocacy for students most underserved and marginalized by public education. As an exemplar of decolonizing work both in classroom practices and in methodologies for educational research, this book presents tensions and complexities in school-based theorizing and praxis, and in teacher implementations of anti-racist pedagogies in and against the current US model of colonial schooling.
