Partnerships in Teacher Education

PRE-OGANISED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT•Reluctance to test any boundaries“You’re not able to use you’re own teaching style”…

•Teachers as regulators“we had to teach the way our supervisors did”… •Lack of targeted feedback “ my mentor was reluctant to let me use the strategies that I learnt at uni”

OPEN LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

•Supported action, able to safely test boundariesWe are ..conscious of our students and their needs .. it is a priority in our planning and general thinking•Teachers as role models“Strength of the program is commitment of teachers in schools”•Targeted feedback support & feedback “this course has made us analytical teachers..we use information to plan..”

ENHANCED STUDENT TEACHER LEARNING…….

..occurs when candidates are deeply engaged in the work of the

school and are given support to apply Education theory to their practice

TEACHER EDUCATION IS A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS…..

major responsibility of supporting student teachers to schools

UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP WITH GOVERNMENT SUPPORT HAS

THE CAPACITY TO CHANGE TEACHER EDUCATION AND

TEACHER PRACTICE
