Transforming Teacher Educator Online Modules
Four online asynchronous modules reflecting our Teacher Preparation Conceptual Framework designed to introduce teacher educators to central principles and approaches to the teacher preparation transformation: cognitive coaching, co-teaching strategies, culturally and linguistically sustaining pedagogies, and digital communities of practice.
The online asynchronous modules introduce teacher educators to central principles and approaches to the teacher preparation transformation to enhance teacher educators’ knowledge and skills needed to effectively mentor teacher candidates during field experience and clinical teaching. In alignment with CEP framework, the modules address:
- Cognitive coaching,
- Culturally and linguistically sustaining pedagogy,
- Co-teaching strategies,
- Digital community of practice
These modules are embedded into the EPP’s professional development structure and are available to all teacher educators including cooperating teachers, field supervisors, and faculty. The work was led by Dr. Sandra Musanti in collaboration with Dr Zulmaris Diaz, Dr. Veronica Estrada, and Dr. Leticia de Leon.
Critical Conversations with Colleagues to Advance Culturally and Linguistically Sustaining Pedagogies
This series of monthly hour-long conversations with teacher educators and educators in the community are spaces to share our successes and our struggles with practices designed to promote a cultural and linguistic inclusiveness and asset-based pedagogies in teacher preparation.
