Playful Practice Spaces: Innovative Approaches for Next Generation Teacher Education

Tue, April 17, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Sheraton New York Times Square, Floor: Second Floor, Central Park East Room

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

Many innovative practice-based learning experiences are being designed and implemented nationally. Notably, this approach emphasizes “the work of teaching” rather than theories and methodologies. While a practice-based approach provides robust opportunities, we also believe that playfulness in these approaches is a key to prepare teachers who are willing to be innovative and creative and are open to new ways of teaching and learning. This session convenes a diverse set of projects focusing on playful learning experiences for pre- and in-service teachers. These projects highlight different ways of conceptualizing playful instructional practice for teacher learning. Each project captures a different viewpoint of the challenges and opportunities for creating playful learning experiences for teachers.
