To do so, the book draws on data from a two-year ethnographic study of No Excuses Teacher Residency (NETR) and Progressive Teacher Residency (PTR), and teachers that emerge from each program. Each program is characterized in rich complexity, with a focus on coursework relating to relationships and race, as well as fieldwork. The final part of the book explores how program graduates draw upon these experiences in their first year of full-time teaching. Two very different visions and approaches to teacher-student relationships emerge  one instrumental, the other reciprocal, with implications for the students ultimately served by each approach. Through engaging portraits and illustrative case studies, this rigorously researched yet eminently accessible book will help teacher educators (and likely other scholars, teachers and policymakers, too) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1: No Excuses Teacher Residency\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: An Instrumental Approach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: License for Navigation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: The NETR Brand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 2: Progressive Teacher Residency\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Cultivating Reciprocal Relationships\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Below the Surface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Learning the Ropes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 3: Into the Field and Beyond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: From Learning to Teaching\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Contradictions in the Field\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: Lessons on Relationships\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMethodological Appendix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040314261847,"sku":"9781475855449","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781475855449.jpg?v=1750946350","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/learning-to-connect-9781475855449","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
