Integrated teaching project: A sustainable approach to teacher education
Abstract
In this paper, the
authors discuss the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of the Integrated
Teaching Framework and the rationale behind its development as a road-map for
teachers and teacher educators. It is further explored in the paper to what
extent a sustainable teacher professional development project, which is
grounded in this framework, displayed intellectual merit and broader impact. Outlines
of the programs developed within this particular project are provided as evidences.
Given short-term seminars or workshops in Turkey are generally accepted as the
norm, revealing the details of long-term sustainable professional development
programs is considered to be noteworthy for teachers, teacher educators,
principal investigators of similar projects, and policy makers in Turkey and
elsewhere.
