Short Description
This project uses plots from books by Roald Dahl, Judy Blume, and others to teach STEM concepts.
Simulating teaching: New possibilities for assessing teaching practice
This paper argues that successful practice-based teacher education requires innovations in assessment that can better inform preservice teachers and those who prepare them. Such assessments must focus directly on specific teaching practices of novice teachers, as well as offer opportunities to assess the use of content knowledge for teaching. Simulations, an assessment type used in other professional fields, hold promise as one means for gathering data about and providing feedback on teaching.
