Winner of the 2015 AERA Division K Award for Exemplary Research in
Teaching and Teacher Education Amid the chorus of demands for
change in teacher education, Teacher Preparation as an
Inspirational Practice focuses on an equally important but seldom
discussed question: What should stay constant? This book provides a
compelling answer-nurturing the capacities of prospective teachers
to be responsive to their future students, while also being
responsive to teacher candidates themselves. This book draws from
the literature base on teaching's moral dimensions to establish a
framework for responsiveness in teacher education, describes
obstacles to its actualization, and suggests approaches for
nurturing responsive capacities in teacher candidates. Teacher
educators will find personal relevance and resonance in the
familiar, daily language of practice used in this book. Voices of
teacher candidates, preservice teacher educators, and school
administrators animate the conversation about responsiveness
through reflections about personal experiences, aspirations, and
challenges. Philosophy and practice are situated within the context
of tensions between standardization and teachers' commitments to
remain true to the unique needs of students and teacher candidates.
