Connecting Teaching and Learning: History, Evolution, and Case Studies of Teacher Work Sample Methodology

By Ronald A. Beghetto

Teacher Work Samples are increasingly being used by teacher preparation programs to quantify the complex set of tasks that comprise effective teaching on a daily basis and document the effectiveness of preservice teachers' impact on student learning. The featured case studies from 10 universities and insights from key policy leaders capture current knowledge on practice, research and policy linked to Teacher Work Samples. The book also includes Del Schalock's own description of the evolution of TWS as well as his thoughts about remaining theory development needed to effectively link teacher preparation and student learning.
