Microteaching+Assignment

It has been found that the connections between theory and practice are often not made explicit during university teacher training programs (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 2000; Grossman, 2005), leaving pre-service teachers under-prepared for field experience.

It has been found that connections between theory and practice are often not explicit during teacher training programs. (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 2000; Grossman, 2005) - How do we prepare for the classroom? How can we get experience about the classroom, outside the classroom setting?

"Microteaching is organized practice teaching. The goal is to give instructors confidence, support, and feedback by letting them try out among friends and colleagues a short slice of what they plan to do with their students. Ideally, microteaching sessions take place before the first day of class, and are videotaped for review individually with an experienced teaching consultant. Microteaching is a quick, efficient, proven, and fun way to help teachers get off to a strong start." (Centre for Teaching and Learning, Harvard University)
