  15. Initial Assessment of Teaching Practice What To make an Initial Assessment of their current teaching practice, participating teachers will consider prior experiences in their teaching preparation program. Why The Initial Assessment will help guide the PT’s work in the first Inquiry and will serve as to measure growth over time.

  16. Initial Assessment of Teaching Practice How PTs will gather information about their Context for Teaching in Module A and complete an Initial Assessment of Teaching Practice in Module B. Both will be used as sources of information to determine focus areas for the first Inquiry.

Information gathered during this module will be used to develop the Individual Induction Plan (IIP) for the Inquiry module. This module wil be completed concurrently with the Context for Teaching module.
