Building Blocks for a Teaching Profession

• Agreed Upon Knowledge Base—common set of knowledge/skills

• Standards of Practice are

• Defined, Communicated, and Enforced

• Professional Certification of Effective Practice – signals the birth of a profession (state licensure, national & state accreditation)

Learning Centered Design Principles:

Educative Focus

Discipline Specific: embedded in curriculum within and across grade levels

Student Centered: examines teaching practice in relationship to knowledge of students’ backgrounds and learning strengths and needs

Analytic: provides feedback and support along targeted dimensions.

Integrative: supports a multiple measures assessment of teaching

“…in 2007, a group of governors

and state education chiefs

decided they were unwilling to

perpetuate this cycle of

deception, dysfunction, and

low expectations.

They set out to develop a new

set of learning standards

aligned to the demands of the

real world—to the kind of

deep learning that your

children and my children will

need to thrive in a globally

competitive economy."

There Are Three Key Risks

Failure of University and

To support program

(compliance vs inquiry)

Failure to manage
