Book excerpt: This qualitative study was conducted to explore the connection between student teaching and the first year of teaching; to determine the level of preparation first year teachers felt as a result of their student teaching experience; and to discover the factors that contribute to the difficulties that many first year teachers face. For this study, novice teachers were asked to reflect upon the transition between their student teaching experience and their first year of teaching. In-depth interviews were conducted with twelve teachers at the conclusion of their first year of teaching. Follow-up focus groups with the same participants were arranged to further investigate the themes that emerged in the interviews. During data analysis, the use of field notes and fully transcribed audiotapes assisted the researcher in unveiling eleven major themes in the collected data. Through exploration of the eleven themes and sub-issues, four conclusions were construed. Foremost, a positive student teaching experience is essential to the success of first year teaching and commitment to the profession. Second, a more inclusive student teaching experience and more extensive field experiences are needed. Third, professional relationships during student teaching and the first year of teaching have great impact on novice teachers. Finally, a host of unnecessary tribulations during the first year of teaching can be greatly reduced. Based on the conclusions of the research, several implications for teacher educators and administrators, as well as suggestions for future research, are delineated to conclude this study. For teacher educators, it is recommended that they study the factors contributing to a positive student teaching experience and work to develop a positive, wholly effective experience for all student teachers; carefully choose and train cooperating teachers; ensure their student teachers' acculturation into their schools; increase the number of and diversity of field experiences; and create a well-planned senior seminar course. Implications for administrators include contact with student teachers, implementing a practical induction and mentoring program, and curtailing the expenses incurred for first year teachers. In addition to these areas, further research is suggested regarding the connection between student teaching and teacher retention, lengthening the student teaching experience, and the possibility of an extended learning period beyond the student teaching assignment.

Book excerpt: The untold story of the root cause of America's education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding Mrs. Warnecke tells the inspiring story of Cindi Rigsbee, a three-time Teacher of the Year, and Barbara Warnecke, the first-grade teacher who had a profound and lasting impact on Cindi's life. Cindi, an insecure child who craved positive attention, started her first-grade year with a teacher who was emotionally abusive and played favorites in the classroom. Two months into the school year, her principal came into the classroom and announced that half the students were being moved to another classroom--a dank, windowless basement room, with a young and inexperienced teacher. This change turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to Cindi. Her new teacher, Mrs. Warnecke, made learning come alive for her students. She went overboard caring for each child, made her classroom "magical," and encouraged students to pursue their dreams. Although Cindi was reluctant to explore her creativity as a student, Mrs. Warnecke encouraged her to read and write poetry, which became a lifelong passion. The two kept in touch for several years but lost track of each other when Mrs. Warnecke moved out of state. Cindi spent many years trying to reconnect so she could thank Mrs. Warnecke for making such a difference in her life, but to no avail. Eventually Cindi became a teacher herself, and thirty years later she has taught more than 2,000 children and been named Teacher of the Year for her home state. She later came to realize that all those years she wasn't really trying to track down Barbara Warnecke, but rather, she was trying to "find Mrs. Warnecke" within herself. In Fall 2008 Cindi and Barbara were reunited on Good Morning America; the show's producers had tracked Barbara down and brought both women on-set for a tearful reunion. Barbara was floored at this attention--she had no idea she could have made such an impact on a former student's life. As Cindi travels around talking with new and veteran educators, she is always approached by audience members who are moved to tears and want to share the story of the "Mrs. Warnecke" in their own lives. Finding Mrs. Warnecke not only tells the story of this teacher who made a lifelong impact on her students, it illustrates the importance of the teacher/student relationship in the classroom, and offers principles for other teachers to follow to make a positive impact in their own classrooms.

Book excerpt: This book features a hands-on approach with practical activities that build on theory taught in methods courses and can be used in the field with college supervisors to strengthen the link between theory and practice. The chapters move pre-service teachers through their practicum experiences sequentially, beginning with the question, "Why do you want to be a teacher?" then progressing to the creation of a portfolio, tips for the job search, and a checklist for setting up a first classroom.

Book excerpt: The experiences that Ms. Matlock-Phillips had with the students in her first classroom taught her to consider their needs and the environments that they came from when teaching. Administration and mentoring teachers were not able to help her to learn the individual need of her students. She developed meaningful relationships with each and every one of her students because she was able to understand why they behaved in the ways that they did. In other words, Ms. Matlock learned to respect the values that her students had learned about life and survival and developed teaching strategies that corresponded to their life lessons.

An analysis of interview data revealed beginning teachers' student teaching experiences partially fulfilled their need of having adequate in-classroom experience before starting their teaching careers; yet they highlighted some suggestions for student teaching assignments to better prepare prospective teacher candidates in the program. Moreover, they expressed both satisfaction and dissatisfaction toward courses taken in the program. Their statements also emphasized the importance of having effective mentorship in their student teaching and first year of teaching.

Book excerpt: In Teachers as Learners, a collection of landmark essays, noted teacher educator and scholar Sharon Feiman-Nemser shines a light on teacher learning. Arguing that serious and sustained teacher learning is a necessary condition for ambitious student learning, she examines closely how teachers acquire, generate, and use knowledge about teaching over the trajectory of their careers. Together, these essays bear witness to the evolution and development of a body of scholarship about teacher learning in which the author herself played a catalyzing role.
