Synopsis

Designed to provoke reflection and commitment, Field Experience, Seventh Edition, guides students through teaching field experiences, including–but not limited to–student teaching. Highly practical in its focus, Field Experience, Seventh Edition, moves beyond a list of “do's”and “don't's” to help students create, reflect upon, and refine a set of goals and teaching principles that will guide them through their future teaching experiences.

About this title

From the Back Cover

 

With an emphasis on reflection, Field Experience, Seventh Edition, guides students through a variety of field experiences–from individual tutoring and observation to student teaching.  Self-reflective exercises encourage students to acknowledge and overcome concerns, as well as develop goals and teaching principles that will guide their future classroom practice.  By promoting active participation, engagement, and reflection throughout all field experiences, this text helps students better prepare to become tomorrow’s teachers. 

 

New to this Edition:

 

• Coverage of action research illustrates how teachers can identify potential problems in the teaching and learning process, and identify how to make improvements.  
• Six new teaching scenarios present students with problems or dilemmas they are likely to face in the classroom, and offer questions to help students determine how they would react. 
• Sample log provides students with a model for documenting their field experiences.
• Updated sections on multicultural education, diversity, and current issues offer coverage of inclusion and teaching students with special-needs; accountability, curriculum standards and dealing with standardized tests; and technology in teaching.
