About this title

Synopsis

Designed to support those teacher-preparatory programs that are becoming more field-based, this text offers a traditional framework for the methods or education course, while adding the field based component. While most texts offer methods and philosophies of teaching, BECOMING A TEACHER IN A FIELD-BASED SETTING presents these and then links all the theory to actual practice. This text is praised for its participatory nature through the use of activities and portfolio entries that help students reflect on their field experiences.
