Abstract

Making Teacher Education a Continuing Process. Teacher education needs to be ongoing, but many inservice programs provide a relatively weak intervention and little support for continuing improvement. How do we support the growth of teachers that leads to greater competence and possibly to board certification? We describe a prototype system to support both preservice and inservice teachers. It uses guidelines and ethnographies of exemplary teachers that include video of a classroom situation, discussion of alternatives, videos of what an actual teacher did, and enrichment discussions for teachers. We also facilitate the teacher using the 3 R's of interpersonal skills to: Recognize the issues involved in the classroom situation, Rate how well another teacher is using interpersonal skills to address the situation, and Rehearse using the skills yourself in the classroom. Experimental results indicate significant improvement in interpersonal skills over those from traditional methods.
