Clinical Practice Framework: Six Focus Areas for Effective Student Teaching
Hannah Putman; Christie Ellis; Ron Noble; Heather Peske
National Council on Teacher Quality
Creating a strong clinical practice experience for every teacher at scale requires that three core actors--prep programs, school districts, and states--work together. This framework sets out the six focus areas of clinical practice backed by research and supported by the field as the most important to build a quality clinical practice experience. It further identifies the actions that these core actors can take in each area. Based on survey responses of hundreds of practitioners from teacher prep programs and school districts, the authors learned that while their programs have much to be proud of, they also recognize that they are missing opportunities to deliver an exceptional clinical practice experience. This framework can help the core actors identify the aspects of their clinical practice programs that are already aligned with the evidence and illuminate opportunities to improve.
