Pupil Learning Group Objective: Link pupil learning to teacher preparation practices (UWM v Others) Vexing Issues: What is a UWM Prepared Teacher? What is Pupil Learning?

Value Added Analysis Expected Pupil Pupil Achievement Achievement Teacher

What is a UWM prepared teacher? Student Inputs – Influences on Teaching Behavior: A. Letters/Sciences/Arts: Knowledge/Proficiencies/Competencies B. Teacher Preparation: Knowledge/Proficiencies/Competencies C. Field Experiences: Proficiencies/Competencies Teacher Education Grad 1 L/S/A Inputs Teacher Prep Inputs Induction/ Field Inputs
