Use the following information for the question(s) that follow.
Tim Thrift, a world history teacher, wants his students to understand the characteristics of New Stone Age people, so he prepares the following vignette.
You're part of an archeological team, and you've discovered artifacts at a site. Some of the artifacts include spear points that are still quite sharp, having been chipped precisely from hard stone. You also see several cattle and sheep skulls and some threads that appear to be the remains of coarsely woven fabric.
Tim has his vignette printed in large type on an overhead which he has ready and waiting. As part of his classroom routines he has taught his students to be in their seats and waiting quietly when the bell rings.
Which of the following statements best describes Tim's expertise?
◦ The evidence indicates that Tim is an expert teacher because he demonstrated each of the four kinds of knowledge-knowledge of content, pedagogical content knowledge, general pedagogical knowledge, and knowledge of learners and learning-necessary to be an effective teacher.
◦ The evidence indicates that Tim is an expert teacher because he demonstrated thorough knowledge of content, which is the most important form of knowledge for expert teachers.
◦ The evidence indicates that Tim is an expert teacher because his students were very orderly, and classroom management is teachers' number one concern.
◦ The evidence indicates that Tim is a novice teacher, because he didn't do a hands-on activity with his students, and hands-on activities are most effective for promoting student learning.
