Description:

This third session of the four part webinar series focuses on AMTE Indicator P.4.2: Sequence School-Based Experiences. Wendy Aaron (Oregon State University) presents her work which asks teachers to create anticipated depictions of a classroom lesson and then follow-up with a depiction of what actually occurs. Similarly, Joel Amidon (University of Mississippi) asks PSTs to create a prediction depiction of a one-on-one student interview on a mathematical task. Rob Wieman (Rowan University) has PSTs focus on launching a complex task with depictions in preparation for the enactment of the task in field placements.

Speakers:

Wendy Aaron, Oregon State University; Anticipating, Enacting, and Reflecting on High Leverage Instructional Practices

Rob Wieman, Rowan University; Launching Rich Tasks: A LessonSketch Module for Teachers and Teacher Educators
