Description
Summary:The primary objective of this project, initiated at Lewis and Clark College, Oregon, was to identify the most valid, reliable, and salient research findings on teaching, learning, and teacher education, and to use those findings in the development and implementation of revised preservice and inservice programs. Particular areas of current research were identified and teams were established to analyze that research and provide specific recommendations for program modification. A central philosophy and set of teacher competencies was developed out of the recommendations to guide subsequent changes. A new model master of arts in teaching program was developed, and the old preservice and inservice sequences were modified to reflect the common approach. An extensive assessment procedure was installed to monitor the move towards more effective teacher preparation and provide direction for continued improvement. This report discusses each step of these processes in detail. Program assessment instruments are appended. (JD)
