The Role of Teacher Work Samples in Developing Effective and Reflective Physical Education Teachers
Sutherland, Sue; Goodway, Jackie
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance (JOPERD), v81 n2 p51-53, 57 Feb 2010
For eight years, Ohio State University (OSU) has systematically infused teacher work samples (TWS) into their physical education teacher education (PETE) undergraduate curriculum in order to develop effective and reflective teachers. Teacher work samples are made up of five main parts: (1) community mapping, (2) unit planning, (3) data collection on goals, (4) data-based reflection, and (5) final reflective essay. This article discusses these components of a TWS and the journey and results of TCs at OSU as they negotiated this process.
