More often, teacher educators and the programs and institutions
they represent are often confronted with an increasingly difficult
responsibility of preparing teachers to address issues of
diversity, social justice, and equity. Here, Patrick and Karen
Jenlink bring to the foreground, current work by teacher educators
in universities across the U.S. It specifically focuses on the
challenges of: * Standards and accountability * The No Child Left
Behind Act * Licensure/certification issues * Increasing diversity
* Issues of social justice * Shifting demographics, and * The
myriad of social issues that make schools and teaching problematic.
The editors incorporate "portrait" as a metaphor and guiding lens
for examining their respective programs, providing richly detailed
descriptions, and defining qualities of the teacher preparation
programs that illuminate how teachers learn in a field-based
program. The nine portraits presented throughout this book provide
the reader an experience of seeing new ways of learning to teach,
set against the backdrop of a changing America. The authors
demonstrate an understanding of the need to set aside conventional
practices for new mediums of expression and learning and
constructing new and alternative pedagogies for learning.
Importantly, the authors present a narrative window into learning
to teach that reflects a re-imagining of teacher education as a
culturally and ethically responsive action towards creating
alternative futures for America's schools. For faculty and
administrators in higher education, teacher educators, and public
school staff.
