What Teachers Should Learn and Be Able to Do
Based on rapid advances in what is known about how people learn andhow 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.
