Practice-Based Learning Opportunities for the high-leverage practices
To support teacher educators’ use of HLPs, the CEEDAR Center, in collaboration with Educator Preparation Program faculty across the country, has collected a set of effective practice opportunities, that we refer to as practice-based learning opportunities, or PLOs. Through the PLOs, candidates and practicing teachers are provided: 1) models that help candidates/teachers understand how to enact specific HLPs; 2) models of how HLPs can be enacted successfully; 3) opportunities to use the HLPs in simulated or authentic settings, and, 3) opportunities to receive feedback on and analyze their use of the HLPs. These models of enactment provided via the PLOs, help candidates and novice teachers understand and apply HLPs.
