As an academic I’ve been part of book clubs and journal clubs as a form of professional development, but never practice clubs.

What’s a practice club? Where we would video our practice, share it with others and then meet to discuss what we say, what we do, how we relate and purposes behind them.

This study by Pam Grossman and colleagues looked to develop a framework for thinking about the teaching of ‘practice’. This was done via cross-professional comparison of human improvement professions (clergy, clinical psychology and teaching).

What we teach may go into our students’ memory but it isn’t learning if nothing is retained and it can’t be recalled and used next week, month, or year. What it is, is performance: The student performed!

That teaching is a relational activity is for me a truism. However in this paper by Ball and Forzani (2009) doi.org/10.1177/0022... they visualise the relationships teaching should be concerned about. It’s about intentionally using professional knowledge to make these fruitful relationships.

The “what” and the “how” of teacher education as foundations to teacher education. files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED6...

Coherence between vision, the knowledge, skills and dispositions we want to develop and an effective pedagogy of teacher education is key.

Joyce and Harootunian (1964) see teaching as problem solving. This means that every time there is an educational objective to achieve, then the teacher is faced with an educational problem. It becomes teacher education responsibility to prepare them for this.

As teacher educators in part “teach about teaching” then they should deliberately consider the “congruency principle” (Dengerink and Lunenberg, 2020 - hdl.handle.net/1871.1/1e73f...).

How we conceptualise teaching to novice’s in PETE is significant. It shapes vision, language, attention, course design etc. I really like Mary Kennedy’s integrated way of “parsing” teaching doi.org/10.1177/0022... as addressing persistent challenges ensures teaching is an intentional activity.

Ball www.chronicle.com/article/lets... asserts that to improve teacher education:

1) agree a demonstrable skill set that teachers need to enter the profession
(2) continue to research & represent what those skills are
(3) build assessments to judge preservice teachers on those skills
Let’s Radically Improve Teacher Training (and Stop Fighting About It)
In the next five years, we will need more than 1.5 million new teachers. This is a time for action, not words.

If teaching is a practical activity then teacher education should focus on practical aspects of teaching, but it should see that practice as "complex, sophisticated and thoughtful work."

This is what underpins Practice-based teacher education (PBTE).

Mosston (1966, pg. 3) proposes that “Teaching behaviour is a cumulative chain of decision making” which becomes the axiom that teaching styles are built upon.

Whilst focused on PE the same can be applied to PE Teacher Education, but this requires intentionality. How intentional are we in PETE?

Part of developing a pedagogy of PE teacher education is facing the articulation challenge. This requires the teacher education to systematically study their own practice and then articulate their assumptions about how they see teaching.
