Student teaching is considered to be the single most powerful
learning experience in teacher preparation. Although much has been
made of its importance, surprisingly little research has been
conducted specifically on student teaching, which some claim has
remained unchanged for a century. Because student teaching is
nearly universal in a field with wide-ranging practices even within
a single institution of higher education, the possibility of
modification in student teaching to lead reform in teacher
preparation is quite strong. The authors present a history of
student teaching, theory, practice, and policy; review the research
literature, past and present; and present practical guidelines for
reform that align with evidence.

Have an idea to change your classroom? Your school? The school
system? This workbook is a practical guide to innovation aimed at
supporting practicing educators and school administrators. It walks
educators from idea generation through planning, problem-solving,
implementation, evaluation, and growth and development. The benefit
of this workbook is that it can be seen as an antidote to the
pressures felt by teachers almost universally in today's schools.
It provides educators with a means to push back, to create and
innovate despite the many challenges in their workplaces. This
research-based tool supports teacher professionalism and
complements professional development plans. It provides seven
concrete steps with accompanying blank worksheets as well as four
complete diverse examples to guide readers' work. Practical
organization, careful planning, and thorough evaluation are
emphasized throughout. In sum, the workbook allows teachers to
rediscover why they entered the profession in the first place - to
make a difference.
