The Role of Teacher Work Samples in  Developing Effective and Reflective Physical Education Teachers
Sue Sutherland & Jackie Goodway

Abstract: For eight years,  Ohio State University (OSU) has systematically infused teacher work samples  (TWS) into their physical education teacher education (PETE) undergraduate  curriculum in order to develop effective and reflective teachers. Teacher work  samples are made up of five main parts: (1) community mapping, (2) unit  planning, (3) data collection on goals, (4) data-based reflection, and (5)  final reflective essay. This article discusses these components of a TWS and  the journey and results of TCs at OSU as they negotiated this process.
