Good teacher education not only enhances the understanding and
skills of new teachers, but increases the likelihood of them
staying in the profession. In Priorities in Teacher Education,
Clare Kosnik and Clive Beck argue that teacher preparation should
be given sharper focus, identifying seven priority areas:
- program planning
- pupil assessment
- classroom organization and community
- inclusive education
- subject content and pedagogy
- professional identity
- a vision for teaching
Long-time teacher education instructors and researchers
themselves, the authors identified these priorities through
literature-based research and the findings of a three-year study
following twenty-two graduates through their first years of
teaching. Packed with examples and quotes about these experiences,
the book is broken down into seven chapters, each focusing on one
of the seven priorities and containing a case study of one teacher
whose experiences embody the priority being discussed.
As the chapters progress, the authors increasingly demonstrate
the interplay between the seven priorities, showing that none of
them can be pursued in isolation, and building a comprehensive base
of essential knowledge for beginning teachers.
Teacher educators will find Priorities in Teacher Education a
key guide to pre-service preparation, while new and student
teachers will benefit enormously from reading the front line
accounts of their contemporaries.
