Unpacking the "Black Box" of Clinical Preparation of Educators: An Opportunity for Public Scholarship

Fri, April 8, 12:00 to 1:30pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Exhibit Hall D Section D

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Why is clinical practice a “Black Box” in understanding preparation of educators? What can we learn from study of clinical practice that encompasses preparation of all educators? This session is designed to explore the unexplored aspects of clinical preparation (the ‘black box’) across three disciplines in order to shed light on ‘core pedagogies’ and ‘core design features’ than can impact preparation quality. Considering preparation of all educators – school principals, counselors, and teachers is needed – as together these professionals ultimately impact the nature of the learning environment for pupils. Panel participants who are engaged in a multi-case study into clinical preparation address the knowledge base, new language, and cross-disciplinary understanding that emerged in unpacking their challenges through this inquiry.
