Examining Practice-Based Science Teacher Education

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

We draw from research conducted by a set of colleagues who are all working with a shared vision of science teaching, and who share a set of pedagogical practices they use to prepare new teachers. Papers explore evidence from these teacher educators’ practices, and investigate puzzles that emerge around teaching practices in relationship to centering equity, building vision and capacity, and deepening new teachers’ understanding of context.
This interactive symposium will ask: How do we attend to the complexity of teacher learning? What counts as learning and why? How does empirically grounded theory help informs practices and pedagogy for professional learning during the preparation period? How can we attend to issues of equity and social justice through teacher preparation programs?
