Abstract	Drawn from a teacher-educator's experience in teaching a basic reading methods course and a Master's course for inservice teachers, this paper provides practical strategies for promoting active involvement, reflection, decision-making, and collaboration among preservice and inservice teachers. The paper first presents syllabi for the methods courses. Part 1 of the paper describes activities that are designed to provide students with opportunities to determine an instructionally sound course of action given a set of information, and focus on the process by which decisions are made. Sections in the first part discuss the assumptions that guide this approach, class discussions, assessment, and modeling critical thinking strategies using an "I-Chart." Part 2 of the paper discusses using journals and response cards. Part 3 of the paper focuses on short-term and long-term collaboration and offers guidelines for a group project and a model lesson. Part 4 of the paper discusses ways to promote active involvement, including an application activity for preservice teachers, and a project for inservice teachers. Contains nine references. (RS)
