The role of professional teaching standards in teacher reflection

摘要: This chapter examines how professional teaching standards developed by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards can serve as a framework for guiding systematic reflection on teaching practice. The overall results of a longitudinal study that examined the impact of the National Board Certification process on teachers' classroom assessment practices are presented. Three cases from the study provide illustrations of how the teaching standards and certification process can be used to guide the development of practices through a process of analytic reflection. One case shows how, in the absence of such guidance, development of practice can be stalled.
