Coinciding with this belief is the emphasis in teacher education reforms and research on pedagogical knowledge teachers need for children to learn the content knowledge. The identification of “the best practices” and “the core” teaching knowledge to enact the curriculum exemplifies this belief. “Benchmarks” or standards are indicators of whether the teacher has mastered the core or best practices. The professional, highly skilled teacher is one who exhibits the benchmarks and classified as “effective” and “authentic” in classroom teaching.read more
