Reinventing Professional Development in Tough Times - 1 views

  •  
    Last year, leaders with the Trussville school district in Alabama wanted to help their teachers learn more about integrating Web technologies into their lessons, a central aim of the district's curriculum. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough money in their budget to bring in leading ed-tech experts to provide professional development. So they did it anyway-in a manner of speaking.

New York Regents May Expand Ways to Certify Teachers - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • The State Board of Regents will consider letting alternative teacher training programs certify teachers, expanding the role that for decades has been exclusively performed by education schools
  • Another would change the requirements for teacher certification, like having more difficult content exams and classroom demonstrations.
  • While New York has had some alternative certification programs in place for years, like Teach for America and New York City Teaching Fellows, students are still required to take classes at education schools during the summer, nights and weekends to earn a teaching certificate.

  • Arne Duncan said that schools should focus more on hands-on classroom work, similar to medical residencies that aspiring doctors must complete.
  • “Upwards of 90 percent of teachers pass the test for certification, they go on to course work and very, very few don’t make it through,” Dr. Steiner said. “I don’t think anybody thinks that’s the right model. It’s very focused on course work and the quality is varied.” The idea, he said, is to focus the core of preparation on practice teaching.
  • “It enables us to have a complete paradigm shift, where we go from passive learned knowledge that is received from a university to active absorbed knowledge that is seen and experienced in the classroom,” he said.
  • William J. Baldwin, the vice provost at Teachers College, said that in expanding the certification process, the state would be treating teaching as something to be trained for, rather than a sophisticated profession.
  • The commissioner is also proposing to develop a new assessment for professional certification, which teachers receive after at least three years in the classroom. The new assessment could also include a way to measure teacher effectiveness based on student test scores.

Alma's "Freebies List": Educational Resources - 0 views

  •  
    This is a dynamic list of 'freebies' that has evolved over the years. Some I have found on my own, but many have been shared with me by my friends and colleagues. You are free to share this document with your colleagues and friends as long as you don't altar it. As you find other 'freebies', feel free to let me know (alma.row [at] dallastown.net). I will keep this list updated and you can access that on my Delicious site, http://del.icio.us/almarow (click on Alma's_Freebies_List in top right corner). Look for the symbol for those additions since the last edition of this listing. Enjoy!
