Beginning Teachers' Learning

Draws on individual case studies and up to date research to explains how teacher educators can equip beginning teachers to learn much more effectively in school.

International trends in initial teacher education (ITE) and induction increasingly emphasize the importance of school-based learning for beginning teachers, while recent policy shifts have given many more schools a leading role in ITE. This book focuses directly on what has been learned from within well-established partnerships about the nature of beginning teachers'' learning in schools. It explores the ways in which teacher educators - both those that are school-based and those in universities who work in partnership with them - can most effectively support that learning. The book includes authentic and engaging case studies and offers an important critique of some ill-defined conceptions of reflective practice. It is rooted in the findings of a UK longitudinal research study - the Developing Expertise of Beginning Teachers (DEBT) project - that drew on extensive observational and interview data. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO (Series: Critical Guides for Teacher Educators) [Subject: Education]
