Hatboro-Horsham School District’s Post

While consensus exists on the importance of inclusive education, there is limited evidence on the use and quality of inclusive teaching practices and the extent to which these are related to effective teaching more generally. Through analysis of data from 5348 classroom observations, Molina et al. (2024) found that while teachers spent over 87% of class-time on task, most did not implement high-quality inclusive practices.

Education faculties sometimes get a bad rap. Do Education programs focus too much theory and not enough on the practical “how to?” I don’t think so. We need to know the Why before we act. I will soon complete teaching two sections of “Literacy Across the Curriculum” for teacher candidates. The conflict of theory and practice I’m hearing about regards some teacher candidates not seeing practices identified in curriculum frameworks in their mentor classrooms. Teacher candidates feel the need to “fit in,” at least for their practicum. I fear this fitting in to a traditional culture of teaching practices will simply continue. Administrators (and others), what do you want faculties of education to communicate to future teachers? How can I encourage teacher candidates to embrace new literacy practices, even if they have to learn them first by doing them?

As Tarleton’s Teacher Preparation Program continues to receive state and national accolades because of the fully scaled high-quality, paid yearlong residency-based certification pathways for all educators in the College of Education that produce day one ready teachers that every child deserves, I can't help but look back from where we came. Four years ago we had a traditional one semester teacher preparation program like so many universities in Texas still have. Transformation is possible. It's difficult, it's a paradigm shift, it seems impossible from where you are; but it's possible. It's not only possible, it's necessary: not only for the survival of your TEP, but also for the survival of public schools. Texas doesn't need more teachers, Texas needs more highly-qualified teachers!

Research has shown that students who don't learn to read by the 4th grade are four times more likely to repeat and eventually drop out of school, resulting in an educational attainment gap between readers and non-readers that increases over time.

NEW PAPER. While acknowledging the cost of the pandemic on the professional lives of teachers, we aimed to examine another dimension of the teacher experience that has received less attention—opportunities for professional growth and innovation. We also examined which factors explained variability in teachers’ perceived opportunities for learning, including: teacher demographic information, hours of professional development, hours of teacher collaboration, satisfaction with received support, and technological self-efficacy. Overall, our paper documents teacher learning and aspirations even amid the challenges of the pandemic, while highlighting how schools and districts might support teacher learning in the future. https://rdcu.be/dkgne
