teachers, with deep knowledge of content and pedagogy, understand the
complexity of a subject and know when a practice can or cannot promote
student learning. They have cognitive roadmaps that reveal their understanding
of the structure of their disciplines; they have knowledge about what
to teach; and they know how to teach it.
In designing STAR Tech, we made the assumption that when teachers have
more expertise their participation in the STAR Cycle process will be
richer. They will be able to notice more when they examine student work,
make more insightful interpretations, and offer more productive strategies
for instruction and assessment. They will also be at a different starting
place when they are receiving personalized and sustained assistance
for technology use. When teachers have expertise about scientifically-based
strategies, their exploration about how to integrate technology is more
likely to begin with a grounding in effective practice.
Teachers today can access information in myriad ways and participate
in varied activities to expand their knowledge base. The graphic below
captures key strategies:
