The disciplinary focus is in contrast to the traditional focus of internship workshops in Israel &#8211; serving teachers from a variety of disciplines, excluding physics-specific professional challenges that occupy novice teachers. The participants are second-career teachers coping both with a change in status, from accomplished experts in their previous careers to novice teachers, as well as novices struggling to maintain a sense of agency in their new job. Thus, there is an emphasis on providing a safe environment in the workshop, where teachers can share difficulties and dilemmas &#8211; a critical feature to support participants in building professional resilience. The model follows key design guidelines for disciplinary professional learning community:<\/p>\n<p>a) Focus on student centered teaching strategies related to settings that are central for Physics teachers: the design of lessons and artifacts to promote learning goals related to problem solving and lab work &#8211; the cornerstones of physics learning.<\/p>\n<p>b) Collaborative reflection on practice. One of the learning activities of the workshop is the &#8220;flagman cycle\u201d involving a &#8220;flagman&#8221; documenting and sharing his\/her classroom experience in turns (rotating between all workshop participants), peers providing feedback on the flagman documentation, and collaborative discussion &#8211; learning from peers successes and exploring pedagogical dilemmas that the flagman identified following their classroom experience.<\/p>\n<p>c) Co-leading the workshop by two leaders bringing respective experiences: that of an expert physics teacher and that of a second career teacher. Two workshops (N=29) operate in 2020-21.<\/p>\n<h4>Research<\/h4>\n<p>Dr. Larisa Shakhman studies the project as part of her Post Doctorate study, supervised by Prof. Edit Yerushalmi, with a focus on the design of the internship workshop to strengthen teachers\u2019 professional resilience. Specifically, the research goals are to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Identify design guidelines for an internship workshop model that develop professional resilience in Second-Career Physics Teachers, construct internship workshop activities to materialize the design guidelines and map the extent to which implemented workshop activities align with the design.<\/li>\n<li>Study changes in participants&#8217; professional resilience in the context of problem solving in the Physics classroom:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>What role perception do teachers form in the context of problem solving?<\/li>\n<li>What challenges do teachers identify following their classroom experiences &#8211; materializing their initial role perception?<\/li>\n<li>How, if at all, did teachers find the collaborative reflection on practice as instrumental in coping with the challenges they identified<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We thank the Mofet Institute and the Ministry of Education for their support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disciplinary Model for Internship Workshops for Second-Career Physics Teachers \u2013 in Collaboration with Beit Berl College<\/p>\n<p>Leading team<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Edit Yerushalmi\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Project members<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Larisa Shakhman<br \/>\nEsther Magen<br \/>\nOfer Ben Avraham<br \/>\nIsrael Magen<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nSummary<br \/>\nThe project involves research based design of a novel model for disciplinary internship workshops for second-career Physics teachers.
