Teacher/Staff Development

Study of First-Year Teacher Implementation of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) Approaches in the Classroom: A Case Study Analysis (2001 - 2003)

A follow-up of the three-year teacher development project that looked at how a small group of first year CTL-trained teachers used CTL classroom applications in their teaching. UGA faculty collected data on first-year teachers through on-site classroom observations, on-line chat room discussions, review of student and teacher materials, and interviews with teachers and students. This project included individual case-study reports, a cross-case analysis of the research, and the results of surveys and focus group interviews with students enrolled in middle and high school CTL-focused classes.

Preservice Teacher Development - A Model of Excellence for Contextual Teaching and Learning (1998 - 2001)

ORG assisted the UGA College of Education in developing a preservice teacher education model based on contextual teaching and learning, using collaborative efforts of 30 faculty/administrators from 2 colleges, 3 schools in the College of Education, and 9 different departments at UGA, as well as community, school, and industry partners. Additionally, the project staff worked to revise UGA's teacher education program to include components of CTL developed by project faculty and taught to a cohort of teacher education students.
