內容簡介:
Based on rapid advances in what is known about how people
learn and how to teach effectively, this important book examines
the core concepts and central pedagogies that should be at the
heart of any teacher education program. Stemming from the results
of a commission sponsored by the National Academy of Education,
Preparing Teachers for a Changing World recommends the creation of
an informed teacher education curriculum with the common elements
that represent state-of-the-art standards for the profession.
Written for teacher educators in both traditional and alternative
programs, university and school system leaders, teachers, staff
development professionals, researchers, and educational
policymakers, the book addresses the key foundational knowledge for
teaching and discusses how to implement that knowledge within the
classroom.
Preparing Teachers for a Changing World recommends that, in
addition to strong subject matter knowledge, all new teachers have
a basic understanding of how people learn and develop, as well as
how children acquire and use language, which is the currency of
education. In addition, the book suggests that teaching
professionals must be able to apply that knowledge in developing
curriculum that attends to students'' needs, the demands of the
content, and the social purposes of education: in teaching specific
subject matter to diverse students, in managing the classroom,
assessing student performance, and using technology in the
classroom.
