Report on a Project To Integrate Technology into Required Preservice Teacher Education Courses at Nine Westchester Colleges and Universities: W.T.E.G., Volume II.
Freeouf, Barbara C., Ed.
This collection of papers describes efforts of the Westchester Teacher Education Group (WTEG) to incorporate technology into preservice teacher education curricula. Part I gives an overview of the WTEG and the activities of its task force on technology, in the following three papers: "The Westchester Teacher Education Group: History and Purpose" (Shirley L. Mow); "Concerns-Based Project Management and Support" (Barbara C. Freeouf); and "Highlights from the Evaluation of the W.T.E.G. Technology Task Force" (Margaret Honey and Cornelia M. Brunner). Part II presents revised preservice teacher education syllabi that reflect ways in which technology can be integrated into foundations courses, methods courses, student teaching/senior seminars, specialized courses, and school-based projects. The papers in Part II include: "Foundations of Education Theory" (Kevin Cawley); "Foundations of Education" (Carol Keyes); "Methods of Teaching Mathematics in Elementary School" (Sandra Flank); "Theory and Practice of Instruction" (Mildred Haipt); "Methods of Teaching Elementary School Mathematics" (Susan F. Jacobs); "Classroom Management" (Daniel B. McIlmurray); "Mathematics for the Elementary Classroom Teacher" (Lucille Peterson); "Seminar/Field Experience in Secondary School Social Studies" (Lawson Bowling); "Interactive Learning Technologies: Preservice" (Wayne D. Gray); "Educational Assessment of the Special Child" (Claire Lavin); "Technology in Elementary and Special Education" (Robert D. Postman); and "School Store Project" (Barbara Marchewka). Appendices include task force member's names and addresses, a display of the W.T.E.G. project structure, and outlines of several technology seminars. (Most papers contain references.) (JDD)
