Conclusion -- Appendix A: Educators' Questionnaire -- Appendix B: Teacher Candidates' Questionnaire 520 0 The ELC professional development model was designed to improve the quality of teacher candidates' Practicum field placements and align teaching in field placements with Learning Standards used in the teacher education program. Teams of four educators from varied settings worked in a Practicum placement setting for one semester to improve their teaching and align it with Learning Standards. An action research approach improved teaching challenges teams faced. Research articles were read to improve teams' teaching challenges by implementing one agreed strategy. Teams video-recorded, assessed, and reflected on the impact of the strategy on their teaching, on teacher candidates' learning and on children's learning. This text compiles six case studies from this model to illustrate how teaching challenges were improved. Appropriate for practiced educators as well as educators in training, this text provides a real world look into applying Learning Standards in early childhood classrooms. 542 1 |fAttribution-NonCommercial 546 In English. 588 0 Description based on online resource. 590 Open Educational Resources (OER).
