2018 SUMMER INSTITUTE:
A Focus on Mentorship, as Requested by School Advisors
EDUC 432A 96A | non-credit
Please note this Summer Institute has been cancelled.
This week-long course will provide participants with the opportunity to think about, explore, and develop possibilities in their work (current or future) as school advisors (i.e., a classroom teacher who supervises a teacher candidate on practicum). The program will examine some of the underlying theories and practices for how we might best support someone who is learning to teach.
Central to the course will be the conversations we engage in that explore and examine our conceptions of teaching, learning, and learning how to teach. In addition, there will be some very practical suggestions about how to prepare for and work with a beginning teacher in your classroom. Finally, we will examine excerpts of teachers and teacher candidates in conversations as a springboard for thinking about what motivates and challenges us in our work as school-based teacher educators.
Tony Clarke
Dr. Clarke spent 12 years as a classroom teacher in Australia before coming to UBC as a Teacher Educator. He works with beginning teachers, classroom teachers, and faculty members in facilitating inquiry into their practice as educators. His work is grounded in the belief that inquiry is a defining feature of professional practice.
Dr. Clarke’s research is primarily in Teacher Education with a focus of ways in which teacher candidates, cooperating teachers, and faculty advisors conceive of and enact their work within the context of the field-based practicum. These studies have progressively revealed the factors that enhance or constrain optimum practicum environments for all participants. A second line of research involves self-study as a method for identifying, articulating, and reflecting on practice.
