Partnerships in Teacher Education
PRE-OGANISED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT•Reluctance to test any boundaries“You’re not able to use you’re own teaching style”…
•Teachers as regulators“we had to teach the way our supervisors did”… •Lack of targeted feedback “ my mentor was reluctant to let me use the strategies that I learnt at uni”
OPEN LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
•Supported action, able to safely test boundariesWe are ..conscious of our students and their needs .. it is a priority in our planning and general thinking•Teachers as role models“Strength of the program is commitment of teachers in schools”•Targeted feedback support & feedback “this course has made us analytical teachers..we use information to plan..”
