Hollins and Connor K.

However, even highly motivated change initiatives are often absorbed or marginalized by university norms of individualism and autonomy that work against the kind of \u003ci\u003ecollective \u003c\/i\u003ework that is essential to program level coherence and improvement. Hollins and Warner offer the field a comprehensive, empirically-grounded and practical model for how teacher educators might navigate these challenges. The book begins with a well-articulated moral imperative for change, grounded in evidence of inequitable educational opportunities and outcomes for many students, particularly those in historically under-served communities of color. The authors integrate useful theoretical perspectives on teacher learning with very concrete examples and tools for program design, course alignment, and pedagogical collaboration between university and p-12 educators. The book will be an extremely valuable resource for teacher educators undertaking the practical work of program renewal and improvement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles (Cap) Peck\u003cbr\u003eProfessor of Teacher Education and Special Education\u003cbr\u003eUniversity of Washington\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen teacher educators and leaders take on change efforts, they often feel isolated, as if theirs is the only institution experiencing the challenge of change. Historically, there have been very few comprehensive approaches to designing teacher preparation programming. Through this book, Hollins \u0026amp; Connor aim to provide teacher educators with practical tools and processes to build program coherence, continuity, and consistency for the purpose of preparing teachers who meet grade-level and subject matter expectations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarah Beal\u003cbr\u003eExecutive Director\u003cbr\u003eUS Prep Teacher Preparation \u003cbr\u003eTexas Tech University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 Academically Based Teacher Preparation; \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Collaboration Among Teacher Educators and with Stakeholders; \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Framework for Program Design; \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Program Explication; \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Course Alignment; \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Clinical Experiences in Authentic Contexts; \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7 Monitoring and Assessing Progress Towards Competent Teaching; \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8 Responding to Needs, Mandates, and Standards; 9 Epilogue \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd (Sales)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018039198039,"sku":"9780367713904","price":34.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780367713904.jpg?v=1750775437","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/rethinking-teacher-preparation-program-design-9780367713904","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
