Does teacher preparation coursework really make a difference?
Teacher educators from eight universities are collaborating to address the theory to practice chasm. Together, they have reformed their courses to include a balance of research-based knowledge and practical, real-world techniques that help teacher candidates develop and master key skills. Through the Design-Based Research (DBR) process, teacher educators open their doors to one another and measure their curriculum and instruction to examine the impact it has on teacher candidates’ readiness to teach.
