Educators Learning Together: Promoting Meaningful And Motivating Professional Development In Christian Schools, Joshua E. Bowar

Master of Education Program Theses

Each year, nearly all teachers in the United States participate in some form of professional development (Andree, Chung Wei, & Darling-Hammond, 2009). Much research is available outlining best practices related to professional development in an effort to provide teachers with a positive learning experience so that they can use their expertise and acquired knowledge and skills to ensure that students learn.

Teaching Future Teachers: A Model Workshop For Doctoral Education, Julia Pryce Dec 2010

Teaching Future Teachers: A Model Workshop For Doctoral Education, Julia Pryce

Julia Pryce

Doctoral student training has become focused in recent years on acquiring subject-area knowledge and research skills, rather than on teaching. This shift often leaves aspiring junior faculty feeling unprepared to address the demanding pedagogical requirements of the professoriate. In the area of social work, few programs con- tain a structured, required program of study that addresses issues unique to teaching in a school of social work. This article out- lines a doctoral teaching workshop as a model framework for social work doctoral programs. Suggestions are provided for ways to incorporate such an effort into current social work doctoral education.
