Synopsis

Teacher Rounds: Powerful peer-to-peer teacher professional development!

Teachers are ready to be in the driver’s seat as leaders of their own learning—and their best professional development resources may be their own classrooms and colleagues. With Teacher Rounds methodology, teachers learn with and from each other through classroom observation and inquiry and develop a trusted community of practice. Scholar-teacher Thomas Del Prete outlines every aspect of this ongoing, collaborative approach:

• Step-by-step guidance and tools for implementing Teacher Rounds
• Insights on creating a positive environment for honest feedback
• A wealth of examples from a high-performing school and across all grade levels and disciplines

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Tom Del Prete has been Director of the Hiatt Center for Urban Education at Clark University since 1998 and Chair of the Education Department since 1996. A graduate of Brown University, and a former secondary teacher in History and English, he earned his doctorate from Harvard University, concentrating on teaching, learning, and curriculum.

Professor Del Prete founded and oversees continuing development of the Hiatt Center Partner School Collaborative, which includes the Goddard and Hiatt elementary schools and the Claremont Academy, South High and University Park Campus secondary schools. The Collaborative is dedicated to the joint development of learning environments and practices that serve the students in "Main South," a diverse and low income area of Worcester, MA. Likewise, the partnership is committed to developing exemplary models of urban teacher preparation, professional development and school reform, and to learning from the effort. Professor Del Prete developed the "rounds" model, a classroom-based collaborative learning model for teachers, as well as the curriculum team model that bridges and integrates arts and sciences and practitioner perspectives -- two signature Hiatt Center programs. He co-chairs the Hiatt Center History Curriculum Team.

In pursuing the partnership work, Professor Del Prete has been awarded grants from the federal Department of Education, the MA State Department of Education, the MA Board of Higher Education, and national and local private foundations. Most recently, he received a grant from the Greater Worcester Community Foundation to support development of the Main South Secondary School Collaborative. He is an original and continuing member of the steering committee for University Park Campus School. He received the Thomas Jefferson award from the Worcester Public Schools for his service to University Park Campus School in 1999, and the John W. Lund Community Achievement award at Clark in 2000.

Professor Del Prete′s interests include university-school partnership, models of urban teacher education, secondary school reform, history curriculum and learning, and spirituality and education.
