Synopsis

Using the subjects of language arts and English in the secondary school setting, this extremely practical volume will inspire the development and refinement of teacher education at all levels and in all subject areas. Written in the voices of public school teachers and grounded in the everyday theory and practice of faculty in public schools and a research university, Teacher/Mentor features

• an alternative to the “professional development school”

• descriptions of actual guidelines, activities, assignments, and professional problem-solving methods
• honest discussions of the relationships between mentors and student/beginning teachers and between public school teachers and university faculty
• discussion of the subcultures and realities of public high schools across rural, suburban, and urban districts
• attention to the special concerns of beginning teachers
• and much, much more!
