Description Recent research demonstrates the capacity of video technology to capture teaching practice to support teacher professional development (Stigler, 1999; Pea, 2004; Sherin, 2005). The goal of this paper is to introduce how new methodologies are being merged with emerging video technology to further our understanding about how pre-service teacher professional development is influenced by the view of video. The intent is to delineate the methods and tools we develop as support mechanisms for continuous growth and how they influence pre-service teacher self assessment of classroom practices. The research results inform the future design of evidence-based methods and tools utilized for self assessment.

Event AECT 2006 Convention Podcasts
Description Teachers as interpretive curricular enactors have complex cognition. In the context of profeesional development interventions involving innovative curricula, design-based research (DBR) offers facilitators a practical collaborative tool to capture the complexities of teachers’ evolving pedagogical models as well as supporting teachers’ learning, following an agenda that links theory with practice. This presentation reflects on the lessons learned from a grant project and proposes a design experiment in the light of the DBR principles and challenges.

Video provides concrete examples of the desired teacher performance, reducing ambiguity. This presentation focuses on the process of designing and developing classroom video bet practices for teacher professional development.

Description Traditional portfolios stress artifact collection to document preservice teacher skills for summative purposes. These purposes expend several resources and result in tools that are rarely used beyond course or progrm requirements. This presentation details how evidence-based methods may be used with preservice teacher assessment, synthesize evidence around particular teaching problems, and establish the use of evidence in determining teacher quality.
