World Café | Designing Student-Centered Teacher Education: Content and Pedagogy (1:00 PM ET)
To teach children most effectively, teachers need to understand the learning process, as it unfolds in sociocultural contexts, since all learning is rooted in culture and experience, and involves people’s abilities to connect what they already know to what they are seeking to understand. Teachers’ knowledge of how contexts and relationships influence brain development can influence how they create productive classroom environments. Teachers need to understand child and adolescent development, along with developmental processes, in all the domains of development—social, emotional, cognitive, academic, physical, and psychological—and have a set of strategies for coming to know their students well as individuals, as members of families and communities, and as learners. What does this look like in teacher education across different cultures and in different policy contexts?
