Supporting and challenging cooperating teachers to grow in their mentoring and coaching practices with preservice teachers and also in their own work as classroom teachers, this practical guide presents and illustrates the Coaching with CARE model-a framework for reflection and action that helps cultivate a perspective on teaching that puts students at the center of teacher preparation and places value on apprenticeship and participation in learning. The CARE model takes a turn away from traditional evaluation-based "training" approaches, offering a way for cooperating teachers, and facilitators and university teacher educators who work with them, to come together to shape innovative coaching and mentoring experiences for preservice teachers. Mentoring Preservice Teachers Through Practice, building on the authors' own work with cooperating teachers, is based on the most recent research on learning to teach and supporting preservice teachers and grounded in the realities of teacher education today. Each chapter includes questions for discussion and suggested readings that can be used to explore the focus of the chapter more deeply as well as relevant research reports published by the authors.
Offering the wisdom that only experience and expertise in the field can bring, this book takes a critical look into the present and the future of literacy as envisioned by leading reading researchers. The lead author of each chapter, and in some cases more than one, of the authors, is a distinguished reading researcher elected by their peers into the Reading Hall of Fame. In this book these distinguished literacy leaders extend their role as researchers to speak directly to issues of practice and policy. All chapters address the theme of literacy and the teaching of literacy as being in a constant state of change. The authors are theoretical as they describe literacy, literacy acquisition, and the teaching of literacy; they are practical as they examine the issues that classroom teachers and reading specialists engage with on a daily basis; and they are political as they advocate for informed policy at the local, state and national levels. A key message in this book is that literacy professionals must take an active role to shape change.
Accessible and inviting, this book showcases how teachers and literacy coaches can use research as a tool to teach literacy effectively and with intention. Sailors and Hoffman invite literacy specialists and practicing and preservice teachers into a conversation about how they can use research as means for professional learning, mentorship, and empowerment. Chapters feature a wealth of tools, examples, and strategies that make key concepts in literacy research refreshing and practical. This book invites the reader to pause and reflect on the practical knowledge through special features in the book and available online as eResources, including: "Points to Consider" boxes to encourage reflection and deeper thinking "Pause and Reflect" boxes to give the reader space to apply concepts to their own work as practice-based researchers eResources with recommended readings and "Meet the Teacher" exemplars of teachers' stories to provoke further reflection, available on the book's webpage: www.routledge.com/9780367177607 Perfect for literacy specialists, coaches and consultants in literacy, ELA/literacy teachers, as well as preservice teachers, this book is a comprehensive and engaging guide to using research as a means to transform classrooms.
This CIERA sponsored book is based on the premise that high-quality
texts of all kinds are essential to good teaching in elementary
classrooms. Experts on a variety of text-related topics were asked
to summarize existing research and then apply it to literacy
development in an "ideal" classroom. The most comprehensive and
up-to-date book in its field, it moves progressively from an
examination of discrete literacy processes and forms to a holistic
overview and assessment of the classroom literacy environment.
Content coverage in this outstanding new book includes:
This book appears at a time when the crisis rhetoric about schools,
teaching, and learning to read is extremely high. There is a rising
call within the profession for a balanced perspective on reading.
"Balancing Principles for Teaching Elementary Reading" aspires to
help set the agenda for improving the quality of literacy
instruction in the United States--by recentering the debate from
"What's better, 'whole language' or 'phonics'?" to "What can we do
in reading instruction to prepare all children for the literacy
demands of the next century?"
