Clinical Experiences in Teacher Education

<p>Responding to multiple scholarly, policy, and practical calls for a greater focus on clinical teacher preparation, this volume operates on the assumption that few experiences in future teachers’ training are more important than their field experiences. This text introduces the model of critical, project-based (CPB) clinical experiences, which provides teacher candidates with exemplary on-the-ground training, honors veteran teachers as school-based teacher educators, and offers university-based teacher educators new roles that ensure their practices and scholarship are explicitly relevant to all of schools’ constituents. Answering the call for relevant, high quality, clinically-based teacher education, this volume will offer scholarly and narrative examinations of examples of CPB clinical experiences that will be of interest to all involved in and impacted by educator preparation programs.</p> <p>Foreword</p><p>Rodrick Lucero, AACTE</p><p></p><p>Chapter 1: "Critical, Project-Based Clinical Experiences: Their Original and Their Elements"</p><p>Kristien Zenkov and Kristine E.
