E. Implication for Action: Outline what concrete changes, activities, policies, research,
or other outcomes can result from this work.
This collaborative practice with extensive field mentoring can become institutionalized in
more preserves programs. An impetus for additional research on the value of various
types of quality field experiences on student teaching and teaching performance could be
ignited.
Section II: Outcomes and Methods
A. Learner/participant outcomes: Describe what you intend the participants to learn
during the session.
The participant will understand the structure of the design of multileveled collaboration
as both a model and a field experience for secondary majors.
The participant will understand how both qualitative and quantitative measurement can
be used to assess the outcomes of the collaborative experience.
The participant will understand how secondary content majors in a teacher education
program can be engaged/emersed in a collaborative experience that includes the real life
experience of working with students with diverse needs including those with IEP’s in
their own content area.
The participant will understand the value added piece to having students in a content
area secondary instructional program work with both general and special education
mentors on site.
B. Methods: Describe how you will design the session so that the learner/participant
outcomes are achieved.
The session will be structured so that a visual representation of the levels and interaction
of the levels of the instructional design and the outcomes measured support the lecture
summary and make the most of the allotted time. Examples of Student products will be
shared through handouts or demonstration (i.e. brief DVD excerpt).
