Renita Schmidt and P. L. Thomas The guiding mission of the teacher
education program in the university where we teach is to create
teachers who are scholars and leaders. While the intent of that
mission is basically sound in theory-we instill the idea that
teachers at all levels are professionals, always learning and
growing in knowledge-that theory, that philosophical underpinning
does not insure that the students who complete our program are
confident about the act or performance of teaching. In our unique
program, students work closely with one teacher and classroom for
the entire senior year and then are supervised and mentored during
their first semester of teaching; the program is heavily
field-based, and it depends on the effectiveness of mentoring
throughout the methods coursework and the first semester of
full-time teaching. Students tell us this guidance and support is
invaluable, and yet we feel the disjuncture between university and
school just as many of you in more traditional student teaching
settings. Students hear "best practice" information from us in
methods classes and they receive ample exposure to the research
supporting our field, but have a hard time implementing
research-based practices in their cla- room settings and an even
harder time finding it in the classrooms around them.
