Two Models of Teacher Training

Deficit model: Something is lacking & needs to be corrected Determined by others, notably by administrators,

program evaluators, or researchers Teachers are seen as the objects rather than

subjects of their professional growth Growth model:

Continuous inquiry, site-based learning Teachers seen as reflective practitioners about

their own instructional & social practices in the classroom
