Building a Community of Science Teacher Educators to Prepare Novices for Ambitious Science Teaching

在科学教师教育者中，越来越多的人认为，需要一种共享的、以研究为基础的教学实践愿景，需要一种教师教育教学法，这种教学法可以有效地培养职前科学教师，以支持来自各种背景的学生的科学学习。这次会议将把一群教师教育家聚集在一起，关注职前教师教育和一种被称为雄心勃勃的科学教学的共同教学愿景。这次会议是建立一个教师教育工作者社区的关键的第一步，他们可以共同分享和完善策略、工具和实践，为雄心勃勃的科学教学准备职前科学教师。这次会议有两个目标。第一个目标是发展一种关于科学教师培养有效教学法的共同愿景和语言，重点是雄心勃勃的科学教学和基于实践的科学教师培养方法。第二个目标是建立一个专业社区，可以生成、测试、修改和传播一套资源（课程材料、工具、视频、教师教育者教学法模型等），以支持教师教育者。探索研究K-12项目（DRK-12）旨在通过研究和开发创新资源、模型和工具（rmt），显著提高pre -12学生和教师对科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）的学习和教学。DRK-12计划中的项目建立在STEM教育的基础研究和先前的研究和开发工作的基础上，为拟议的项目提供了理论和实证依据。这次会议将产生直接和长期的更广泛的影响。一个直接的影响是，这次会议将为与会者和该领域制定一个可操作的研究议程，以围绕雄心勃勃的科学教学和基于实践的教师教育。这样的议程将有助于形成新的工作，包括机构合作、教师培训计划和国家组织。这样的结果有可能立即影响会议参与者的工作和他们自己的教师培训计划。从长远来看，这次会议为与会者提供了一个机会，让他们考虑如何利用雄心勃勃的科学教学来解决科学教育和学校中的公平和社会正义问题。此外，这次会议的更广泛影响将是传播科学教学和基于实践的教师准备的愿景，在这种愿景中，学生的想法和经验是教师工作的原材料。

There is a growing consensus among science teacher educators of a need for a shared, research-based vision of accomplished instructional practice, and for teacher education pedagogies that can effectively prepare preservice science teachers to support the science learning of students from all backgrounds. This conference will bring together a group of teacher educators to focus on preservice teacher education and a shared vision of instruction called ambitious science teaching. This conference is a critical first step toward building a community of teacher educators who can collectively share and refine strategies, tools, and practices for preparing preservice science teachers for ambitious science teaching. The conference has two goals. The first goal is to develop a shared vision and language about effective pedagogy of science teacher preparation, focusing on ambitious science teaching and practice-based approaches to science teacher preparation. The second goal is to initiate a professional community that can generate, test, revise, and disseminate a set of resources (curriculum materials, tools, videos, models of teacher educator pedagogies, etc.) to support teacher educators. The Discovery Research K-12 program (DRK-12) seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools (RMTs). Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects.There are immediate and long-term broader impacts that will result from this conference. One immediate impact is that this conference will set forth an actionable research agenda for the participants and the field to take up around ambitious science teaching and practice-based teacher education. Such an agenda will help shape new work, involving institutional collaborations,teacher preparation programs, and national organizations. Such an outcome has the potential to immediately impact the work of the conference participants and their own teacher preparation programs. In the long-term, this conference provides an opportunity for the participants to consider how to use ambitious science teaching to address issues of equity and social justice in science education and schools. In addition, the broader impacts of this conference will be to spread a vision of science teaching and practice-based teacher preparation in which students' ideas and experiences are the raw material of teachers' work.
