Exemplary Practice
The
mission of our conference is to: energize teacher education in the
Northwest,
examine the impact of new teacher education policies on future and
current
teachers, and offer an opportunity for increasing numbers of our
colleges and
K-12 educators to discuss and share exemplary practice, scholarship,
and
research in teacher preparation. This year's conference theme
will draw from a diverse group of scholars and allow for a wide range
of topics related to teacher education, social justice, and/or

We
invite proposals for presentations and papers from conference
participants on a
variety of topics including:
•
Collaboration with K-12 schools, field experiences and
professional development schools;
• Integration
of social justice and/or technology in teacher
preparation;
• Preparing
teachers for social justice (broadly defined);
•
Collaboration with the content areas in technology: Social
Studies, Science, Math, the Arts, etc.;
• Teacher

• The Field
Experience and internships; and
• Teaching as a profession, teacher induction and early career challenges.
