Teacher Self Report Framework for Making Teaching Visible

• In Event: PD/In-Service Teacher Education Brief Reports D

Description

The Whole Class Discussion Framework (Author, 2019; Author, 2020) was administered pre and post PD. Specifically, teachers self-reported their teaching practice as it related 1) the design of physical space, 2) classroom routines, 3) lesson planning and 4) the whole class discussions. The meaning of these categories was explicitly addressed in the professional development that teachers participated in. The pre and post data were compared, and the data revealed that there were shifts in every category. The greatest shifts took place on how they facilitated whole class discussions. Implications for using this tool for teachers to professionally notice their practices to refine teaching, and for professional developers to make decisions to adapt PD are discussed.
