Pam Grossman (Stanford University)
Anna Ershler Richert (Mills College)
Using Multi-Media Records of K-12 Practice as Teacher Education "Texts"
September 14, 2006
In this presentation Pam and Anna will explore the use of web-based, multi-media representations of practice in teacher education. Both are affiliated with the Quest project, of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Quest has been actively developing web-based cases of teaching for use in teacher education (see http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/programs/index.aspkey=34). Over the past several years, Pam and Anna have been looking at how teacher educators use these representations of K-12 practice in their teaching, and how both their assignments and the nature of materials focus novice's attention on particular aspects of the work. They will introduce the overall project and explore more deeply the uses of these materials in our different teacher education settings. In addition, they will discuss how they have documented their own practice and created web pages that describe this particular teacher education strategy in their classes. Pam and Anna's documentation work has has provided them new ways to think about their students' learning, which they will explore in this presentation as well.
