Book Description

This book details the findings of a small-scale research study on the use of real-time coaching in pre-service teacher education, founded upon the nexus of teacher education, mentoring, immediate feedback, teacher effectiveness, technology-enhanced learning and innovative approaches to developing better teaching practices. The book includes a robust literature review summarizing the scholarship on coaching models used in teacher education. The authors explore how real-time coaching, as a specific approach, has the potential to address persistent problems in teacher education and early career teacher performance in the areas of teachers’ growth mindset, teacher resilience and disjuncture in applying theory to practice. The scholarship allows readers to gain a better understanding of the history of coaching in teacher training, and the capacity of real-time coaching, specifically, in pre-service teacher training told through the words of participants.

Book Description

Taking as its guiding principle that through peer coaching new teachers can offer each other valuable feedback as they try out teaching techniques in the classroom, this book reports on a longitudinal study in peer coaching. The book aims to give teacher educators a new method for encouraging reflective thinking and professional growth in preservice teachers. The study reported on in the book was conducted over two-and-a-half years with 135 preservice teachers at Towson State University in Maryland. The book recounts scenarios of student experiences in which peer coaching was used, describes the students involved and the ways in which they were trained to coach one another, furnishes the results of the study, and offers ways in which teacher educators can use this information in their teaching of teachers. The chapters in the book were written in "heteroglossic" form--that is, the text reflects both the individual and collective perspectives of the authors. Chapters in the book are as follows: (1) Facilitating Reflective Thinking in Preservice Teacher Education; (2) Rethinking the Making of Teachers; (3) Peer Coaching Scenarios; (4) Training for Coaching; and (5) Reflections on Preservice Peer Coaching. The book concludes with a peer coaching workbook and a 51-item bibliography divided into sections on active learning, coaching, and reflection. (NKA)

Book Description

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.
