Synopsis

The evolution of a student teacher to a qualified teacher in the United States is explored in this practical volume. An integral element of this evolutionary process is the role played by those who mould the new teachers: the university supervisor, cooperating teacher and school principal. A useful aid to all those involved in this transition, the book is designed for use during field experience seminars and teacher training sessions.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Making the Difference for Teachers emphasizes the process that students experience in order to evolve from the status of student to that of new teacher. Slick focuses on field experiences from the student teacher's perspective, including his or her assimilation of the culture of teaching. Chapter authors address such issues as effective communication, classroom management skills, productive mentoring, and the training of cooperating teachers. They also cover the needs and responsibilities of the other integral people who aid in molding new teachers: the university supervisor, the public school principal, and, of special concern, the cooperating teacher who has the responsibility of supervising students. Through lively vignettes and practical advice, Making the Difference for Teachers guides the reader through successful field experiences. It is ideal for the practitioner in the field with the student, the faculty for teacher education, and the student experiencing the transition toward becoming a practicing professional. Designed for use during field experience seminars, it is also an excellent handbook for training sessions and staff development for those who will be working with students during their field experience placements.
