Implementation of Curriculum in Teacher Education

Spring, 1991

This course is open to School Associates working with New Caledonia

Teacher Education Consortium (NEW CALTEC) or Northwest Teacher

Education Consortium (NWTEC) in the 1990-91 school year who have been

accepted as students at Simon Fraser University.

Description

The course has two components:

a)

the instructional component consists of involvement in the School

Associate Orientation Sessions which are held in the NEW CALTEC or

NWTEC Districts during the 1990-91 school year. It is in these sessions

that participants will examine and articulate their practice and begin the

process of developing strategies to introduce student teachers to the

knowledge and practice of teaching and learning.

b)

the classroom component consists of reflection on and analysis of the

work with student teachers in the School Associate's school and

classroom.

Outcomes

1.

participants will keep a reflective journal of their experience as teacher

educators (50%)

2.

participants will devise a method for receiving feedback from their

student teacher(s) as to his or her (their) perception(s) of the semester

experience (20%)

3.

participants will devise a method to demonstrate their evaluation and

analysis of the School Associate work relating it to some of the literature

on teacher education. Required readings will be supplied. (30%)

The manner in which these outcomes are demonstrated to the instructor is

open to negotiation between the instructor and the participant.
