Teacher Educator
See classroom videos and hear stories of supporting pre-service learning
“AST gives us the language and a set of tools and practices that are accessible to pre-service teachers.”
“When I teach future science teachers, having in-service teacher-vetted and co-designed tools that we know help kids learn in classrooms, available in your methods class where you’re learning right now, and having opportunities to use those during teaching rehearsals in the methods class, that’s really powerful.”

Ambitious Teaching—An overview
In this video we illustrate what Ambitious Teaching looks like in classrooms ranging from high school to kindergarten. The practices were developed through collaborations between teachers and researchers, and they are continually evolving as we learn more about how they work with young learners. There are several themes that you’ll see in all examples, such as a focus on puzzling and complex phenomena, opportunities to make sense through talk, making thinking visible, attending to who is participating, using various forms of scaffolding and tools, and much more.
