Connecting Teaching and Learning:
A Handbook for Teacher Educators on Teacher Work Sample Methodology

This handbook shares methodologies for guiding teacher preparation and licensing. It provides a rationale for the inclusion of teacher work sample methodology in preparation and licensing programs, describes how student learning is the central concept within teacher work samples, explains how to teach students and teachers about work samples, and supports teacher educators who need to work with their colleagues in reviewing, adapting/adopting, and implementing the methodology.
