What We've Learned: Examining and Transforming Teacher Education
A Teachers for a New Era Research Series
UW Teachers for a New Era has funded a variety of research aimed at improving our use of evidence to drive programmatic change.
In 2008, the researchers involved have met monthly to share their work. The TNE Research Colloquia Series has two main purposes. The first is to inform our colleagues, both in the CoE and across the University, about the research efforts. The second purpose is to extend the conversation about what we should do in response to the data we have collected. We hope that posting these videos extends the conversation even further.
