Teacher Education by Design

Teacher Education by Design Teacher Education by Design (TEDD) is a project of The University of Washington's College of Education. We call these episodes instructional activities.

TEDD is a collaboratively constructed library of practice-based tools for teacher educators as well as community space for teacher educators to collaborate and develop new tools. TEDD tools are organized around a common framework: the Learning Cycle and Instructional Activities. The guiding assumption behind this framework is that in order to shape teachers’ practice, teacher educators need to eng

age teachers in the actual work of teaching. The TEDD framework is a pedagogical design for practice-based teacher education that puts the work of teaching at the center of learning to teach. In order to collaborate around practice, teacher educators and teachers need a common piece of instruction to work on together. For this reason, we use highly specified episodes of content instruction as the structure within which we work on the practice of teaching. In the TEDD library, you'll find content-specific activities with a set of tools for teacher educators including videos, planning tools, observation protocols, and more. The tools are organized into four quadrants: introduce, prepare, enact, and analyze. These four quadrants make up the learning cycle, a pedagogical design for using instructional activities to put practice at the center of learning to teach. Check out TEDD.org to learn more about our design for teacher education and join a community collaborating around practice-based teacher education.

New on TEDD // Charting: A Mentor Teacher Activity

Earlier this year, we shared two routine activities that mentor teachers can use to create learning opportunities for their mentee during classroom instruction. “Huddling” and “Repeated Teaching” were designed to allow mentors to make both their teaching and their thinking visible to their mentee.

We've now added resources for a third mentoring activity, "Charting", which can help mentors direct a novice teachers’ attention to specific parts of teaching. It offers a way to shine a light on a teaching move, a student behavior, or an aspect of classroom life that a novice teacher may not be noticing yet.

New on TEDD // Resources for two activities for mentor teachers to try with their mentees: "Huddling" and "Repeated Teaching." In the same way that Instructional Activities structure teacher-student interactions for ambitious instruction, Mentor Teacher pedagogies structure interactions between mentor teachers and novice teachers to support teacher learning. These two new activities are designed to help mentor teachers make both their teaching and thinking visible to the aspiring teachers they support.

New on TEDD: Mentoring Activities Mentor teachers play an important role in shaping the kinds of teachers that novices become. In many cases, an aspiring teacher will spend much more time working alongside their mentor than anyone else in their preparation. The new “mentoring activities” shared ...
