75.039 - Social Foundations for Teaching Practice

Mon, April 20, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Marriott, Floor: Fifth Level, Los Angeles/Miami

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Oriented around the practice of teaching and the development of ethical, skilled novice teachers, we ask: How can teacher educators and researchers infuse foundations with attention to practice in order to support novice teachers’ negotiation of the cultural, political and ethical dimensions of teaching? The papers are situated within a reform context that emphasizes explicit instruction of teaching practices (Ball & Forzani, 2009; Darling-Hammond, 2006; Darling-Hammond, Hammerness, Grossman, Rust, and Shulman, 2005). Despite growing support for this approach, there remains little knowledge of how practice-based models should attend to the historical, social, economic, cultural, and political issues typically addressed in foundations courses (Zeichner, 2012). The papers describe efforts to weave foundations of education through practice-based programs for teacher education.
