All educators in teacher education want to know what factors
contribute to the academic success of undergraduate education
majors or pre-service teachers. Teacher educators of eight
universities across the state of South Carolina were determined to
find out. This compilation is a result of their inquiry. The
conclusions of this book are drawn from the contributors and each
chapter helps expand teacher educator readers' understanding and
informs their practice as they work with initial certification
students in educator preparation. A Research Perspective promotes
the academic success of pre-service teachers by exploring common
research questions posed to education majors of the eight
universities in South Carolina. Ranging from historically Black to
predominately White, from private to public universities across the
state, these institutions serve a diverse body of students who
described some insightful contributing factors and challenges to
their success. The case scenario begins each chapter that provides
contextual snapshots of the myriad choices and obstacles faced by
pre-service teachers; the research narratives offer insightful
analysis for teacher educators. Though written from the perspective
of South Carolina, the lessons learned and recommendations for
teacher education are relevant to any state. This is a must-read
for all teacher educators interested in student success. This book
is most interesting to members of teacher education organizations,
especially the Association of Teacher Educators (ATE) and its 41
state and regional affiliates, including South Carolina Association
of Teacher Educators (SCATE) and Southeast Regional Association of
Teacher Educators (SRATE). It also has wide appeal to members of
other professional organizations, such as National Association for
Multicultural Education (NAME) and American Educational Research
Association (AERA). Finally, it's a good choice for professional
learning communities of district personnel and classroom teachers
since it provides insights that will strengthen mentoring and
support systems provided to student teachers.
