Stories of Student Teaching provides individuals involved with the student teaching experience the opportunity to read and reflect on case studies which realistically depict this leaming situation. Through discussion of the experiences described, future student teachers can determine how they might react in situations similar to those presented and plan their educational experiences to prepare themselves to meet these kinds of challenges. Current student teachers can compare their own experiences to those in the text and find opportunities to generate solutions to problems that they might be facing or validate the approach that they are currently using. Cooperating teachers and college supervisors can gain insight and understanding into this complex apprenticeship experience by reading and reflecting on the words of individuals who have been a part of a student teaching experience.

Supporting Teacher Development: New Skills for Principals in Supervision and Evaluation

This text provides opportunities for administrators to use evaluation processes more effectively to support teacher development. Through the use of practice scenarios and communication exercises, principals can develop a more supportive, relational process for teacher evaluation. Too often principals provide evaluation feedback in ways that do not resonate with teachers. This text examines the communicative process and provides practice and skill-building opportunities that will enable principals to develop supportive environments that help teachers continue to grow.

Developing Preservice Problem-Solving Skills through Case Studies

With the current emphasis on assessment and data-driven instruction, pre-service teachers rarely get a chance to consider how they will deal with the dilemmas that may surface in their future classrooms. The case studies in this book enable novice educators to consider the possibilities for dealing with issues, but it also provides a process for them to hone their instructional skills, as the book includes information for developing questions and facilitating the case discussions. In this book, Debra Eckerman Pitton provides a bridge from the theoretical to the practical, using case studies to engage pre-service teachers in the analysis of situations and the problem-solving they will need to do in the classroom.
