Opis

Good teacher education not only enhances the understanding and skills of new teachers, but increases the likelihood of them staying in the profession. In Priorities in Teacher Education, Kosnik and Beck argue that teacher preparation should be given sharper focus, identifying seven priority areas program, planning, pupil assessment, classroom organization and community, inclusive education, subject content and pedagogy professional identity a vision for teaching. Long-time teacher education instructors and researchers themselves, the authors identified these priorities through literature-based research and the findings of a three year study following twenty two graduates through their first years of teaching.Packed with examples and quotes about these experiences, the book is broken down into seven chapters, each focusing on one of the seven priorities and containing a case study of one teacher whose experiences embody the priority being discussed.
