For courses in Student Teaching and Field Experience .

 

The goal of this text is to help teachers to create and recreate their professional knowledge through reflection and inquiry.  Readers are given the opportunity to examine and consider a variety of possible responses to teaching and learning situations, and to relate their thinking to their own experience and developing professional knowledge.  Readers are invited to reflect and respond individually and collaboratively to what they read, and to document their reflections, responses, and ongoing inquiry.  In this way, teachers can use what they learn to build their own unique professional knowledge in teaching, and to plan their future actions and professional practices.
