© Scordias & Morris, 2005 How do we do address the needs of the preservice teacher in a way that develops skills needed by quality teachers? Educational Quality

© Scordias & Morris, 2005 Purpose of Observations To prepare students for the authentic teaching experiences that they will have as student teachers and classroom teachers. To develop noticing and interpretation skill evidenced by expert teachers. –(Sherin, 2002)

© Scordias & Morris, 2005 Purpose of Project: Learning Principles To better prepare preservice teachers To teach successfully in diverse urban settings. To implement a socio-cultural perspective that uses collaboration and directed learning to integrate theory with practice. To accelerate the movement of novice to expert by seeing and reasoning using the expert’s eye. –(Bradsford, 2000)

© Scordias & Morris, 2005 Traditional Observations Observation process –Individuals or pairs are assigned observation in K-12 school (For example 10 hours over the course of the semester.) –Write analysis of observation Concerns by faculty about the process –Difficulty scheduling 200 preservice teachers / semester –Ensuring quality teaching occurs in observation –Accessing diverse settings

© Scordias & Morris, 2005 Problems of Learning Validity of interpretation –Prior experience: Filter of the experience –Lack of context: The meaning attributed to what we do perceive Connection of theory to practice Isolated construction of new knowledge

© Scordias & Morris, 2005 Discussion of Improvements Which has precedence in the observational procedures - form or function –Issues related how the activity (observation) is able to be conducted –Issues related to why the activity (observation) is being conducted

© Scordias & Morris, 2005 Factors in Decision Making FORM Scheduling The school environment Introduction to the classroom Permissions FUNCTION Learning to notice Interpretation Constructing new knowledge Feedback Connecting theory to practice

© Scordias & Morris, 2005 Rethinking the Balance Form Function Traditional Observation VCV Observation

© Scordias & Morris, 2005 Instructor Coordinate course to allow time for mini- program May take cognitive theory from class lessons and apply it to the observation Collect observation forms Monitor attendance and web site discussions

© Scordias & Morris, 2005 Directed Learning Facilitator Determine foci of the observations Arrange observations Provide observation guidelines Facilitate university site Simulate teacher internal dialogue Shape focus Highlight teacher practice and explain from theoretical viewpoint Maintain web site for communications Coordinate with Project Manager to improve process
