a More Effective Mentor Teacher, 3 credits, Fall
2009
|
|
Course
Description: Practicing teachers
will explore extending their role as
teacher to include prospective teachers
(both pre-student teachers and student
teachers) as students. The traditional
relationship between cooperating
teachers and prospective teachers from
the idea of mentor teacher as expert
will be challenged to more closely
resemble mentor teacher as partner or
co-learner in an ongoing conversation
about learning and teaching. As a means
of professional development, practicing
teachers will extend the role of
co-learning to include peers within the
process of clinical supervision.
Goals: During this course, the
participants will:
1. Become more skilled at conducting a
variety of conferences as part of
clinical supervision and peer coaching
2. Become more skilled observers of
classroom teaching and learning
3. Refine interpersonal communication
skills
4. Understand the developmental nature
of learning to teach
5. Apply tools of collaborative and
reflective inquiry
Meeting Time/Place: Monday
afternoons from 4:00 – 6:00 pm, on site
at a school in the district, September
21 – December 7, 2009
Instructional Procedures: Each
class will follow a similar format to
include journal writing, cooperative
learning activities around the concept,
and class discussion summarizing key
points. Extensions between classes will
include application of concepts and /or
instruments created in class.
Evaluation Procedures:
Practicing teachers will implement key
concepts constructed during class time
and share results with the class. This
will include completion of at least two
cycles of clinical supervision with you
prospective teacher (pre-student teacher
or student teacher) and/or with a peer.
Class attendance is required.
Emergencies will be handled on a
case-by-case basis.
