Class Activity Practicum Journal



Implementing Core Competencies
of the Urban Teaching Professional


URBAN LEARNER-TEACHING RESIDENCY
REFLECTIONS OVERVIEW

12-week Practicum
Monday 10/01/12 to Friday 12/21/12



Professional MISSION:

To obtain full competency in the core cultural, technological, instructional, professional, content knowledge (CTi-PCK) domains of the effective urban literacy educator -- for the purposes of improving the educational achievement of historically and currently underserved students, and advocating for equity and excellence in education for all urban learners. 

Project GOAL:

My goal is to examine and align theory with practice in urban teacher training for the purposes of furthering my own professional development and supporting and contributing to the scholarship of teaching. I seek to analyze and actively reflect on my urban residency practicum teaching experiences -- as they relate to the pedagogical theories and research offered in course study -- in order to identify key implications toward a practical Framework for Excellence in Urban Classroom Leadership.
