What Does the Teaching Vignette Reveal About Teacher Educator Knowledge?

Abstract

The strands of teacher educator knowledge are explained using an analytic narrative vignette to represent data collected during the teaching of an online course in the spring of 2020. The Teaching Vignette represents examples of the teaching experiences I was engaged in for an undergraduate class for preservice teachers to learn Content-Based Instruction in Language and Literacy for teaching English language learners. In the vignette, the two instructors taught and managed sessions of the course from their laptops together at the same table. The preservice teachers participated via Zoom. The Teaching Vignette was analyzed systematically by highlighting the strands of teacher educator knowledge as they appeared and noting, when evident, how they interrelated with each other. In this way, I showed how the strands of teacher educator knowledge became more visible during the teaching of the course. In addition, I discussed how the strands are interrelated and connected to each other. After the analysis, I explain the insights that emerged from examining my teacher educator knowledge during the teaching stage by considering each of the seven strands of teacher educator knowledge.
