This book provides tools to help pre-service teachers and
teacher-preparation programs identify, evaluate, and respond to
misaligned expectations early in the teacher-preparation sequence.
Plato tells the story of prisoners who mistake the shadows on the
wall of their cave for flesh-and-blood reality. These "shadow
narratives" dominated their expectations, and when confronted with
a three-dimensional reality that bore little resemblance to the
shadows, the prisoners were blinded by the light. Surrounded by
images and rhetoric that reduce the fullness of teaching to flat,
two-dimensional representations, today's pre-service teachers tend
to develop expectations of teaching that resemble the shadows more
than they resemble reality. These misaligned expectations often
lead to practice shock: the painful and disillusioning cognitive
dissonance that comes about when unsustainable expectations collide
with real-world practice. Intended as a proactive manual for
mitigating practice shock, this book shines a light on the shadows
by giving pre-service teachers the tools to examine, confront, and
revise their own misaligned expectations of teaching before they
reach the point of crisis.
