“Learning to Learn from Teaching Across the Disciplines”

Assistant Professor Elizabeth van Es and Ph.D. in Education students Tara Barnhart and Huy Chung will be presenting their paper “Learning to Learn from Teaching Across the Disciplines” at the California Council on Teacher Education (CCTE) Fall Meeting in San Diego, October 15-17.

Abstract

In this session, we will describe our efforts to create and study a video-based course which focuses on helping pre-service teachers develop practices for learning from teaching. Specifically, we will present: (1) a framework to guide pre-service teachers’ analysis of classroom lessons and its research base, (2) an example of video-based activities to develop pre-service teachers' attention to student thinking, and (3) research findings indicating the impact that participation in the course had on secondary math, science, and English Language Arts pre-service teachers’ ability to notice, analyze, and reflect on their own practice.
