Description¶

The article recommends that program coordinators use the identified standards-based profiles to tailor support rather than merely audit learners, and to trigger curriculum-level responses. It states, for example, that "learners in the Knowledgeable and strategic group can be provided with more opportunities to develop and demonstrate their capabilities in creating and maintaining safer learning environments (Standard 4)". Profiles can also be computed at any program point (e.g., Semester 3) to enable timely, targeted interventions.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Assessment mappings to professional standards and grades available before the point of profile calculation

Constraints¶

• Demonstrated for a single cohort of one ITE program; generalizability requires analysis of future offerings and other programs

Target Learners¶

• Pre-service teachers, particularly those in intermediate attainment profiles needing targeted support

Target Learning Goals¶

• Development of professional teaching standards, especially standards where a learner's profile shows low attainment

Related Strategies¶

• Use CT profiles and behavioural metrics to differentiate pre-service teacher instruction and design a learning analytics dashboard
