As higher education professionals, our mandate is to prepare the next generation of educators for the realities of the classroom. In an era of rapid technological change and the rise of AI, this task has never been more complex. Simply teaching them how to use today’s popular apps is a recipe for obsolescence.

To truly prepare them, we must equip pre-service teachers with a deep understanding of the foundational principles of learning. They need durable, evidence-based pedagogical frameworks that can be adapted to any technology that comes next.
The TCEA Mastery Series, “Visible Learning with Ed Tech,” provides this essential foundation. It’s the perfect resource for methods courses, student-teacher seminars, and educational technology programs.
Here’s how it prepares future educators:
- Focus on the “Why,” Not Just the “How”: The series is grounded in the science of learning, including Hattie’s Visible Learning research and the SOLO Taxonomy. Students learn why certain strategies work, enabling them to make informed pedagogical decisions throughout their careers.
- Provides a Universal Framework (ALDO): The “Amazing Lesson Design Outline” gives pre-service teachers a comprehensive, research-backed structure for lesson planning that integrates culturally responsive teaching, SEL, and high-impact strategies from the start.
- Builds AI Literacy: The series doesn’t shy away from AI. It provides a structured way to think about integrating AI tools across different phases of learning, moving beyond novelty to purposeful application.
- Bridges Theory and Practice: With ready-to-use slide decks, one-pagers, and video content, the series makes it easy to translate complex research into practical classroom application, a critical need for new teachers.
Let’s give our future teachers a compass, not just a map. By grounding their practice in the evidence of how students learn best, we empower them to be effective, adaptable, and innovative educators for decades to come.
