72.044 - Teaching Simulations That Assess (the Use of) Teaching Knowledge and Skill

Mon, April 20, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Marriott, Floor: Sixth Level, Michigan/Michigan State

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Currently there is press to assess teacher candidates’ skill with the doing of teaching. In response to limitations of typical forms of assessment, the authors have independently developed simulation assessments of skill with different teaching practices. Simulations are common in many other professional fields, such as medicine and social work. The first paper focuses on an assessment of teaching in response to a common pattern of student thinking in science. The second paper addresses an assessment of eliciting and interpreting children’s mathematical thinking. The third and the fourth papers focus on interconnected sets of practices typically enacted within a lesson. Each study includes a description of the assessment, what the assessment reveals about teacher candidates’ skills, and the assessment challenges.
