Competing practice-based mentoring frameworks for student-teachers
At their best, teacher preparation programmes harness the power of mentoring to provide professional, emotional, and organisational support for novice teachers and student-teachers. While teacher mentoring research provides much information regarding effective practices, little is known about how different preparation tracks structure the mentoring they provide. Based on interviews with student-teachers (n = 24), this paper examines and compares …
Reflective or transmissive, is there a superior learning approach? Lessons from mentoring relationships
This study challenges the prevailing assumption that reflective learning approaches are inherently superior to transmissive ones. Specifically, we focus on the professional learning of mentor teachers through an in-depth investigation of mentoring dynamics in the context of Israeli teacher preparation fieldwork and co-teaching. Based on interviews and observations from a ten-case study, we investigate how mentors and mentees shape the nature of t…
Street-Level Bureaucracy in health promoting schools
Health promotion in the Israeli education system
This study used a qualitative approach to examine health promotion policies in the Israeli education system, analysing 24 written policy documents (2011–2023) and conducting semi-structured interviews with senior policymakers. The analysis revealed that policy documents did not address health promotion in a multicultural society, and programme evaluations have not been conducted for over a decade. Additionally, there is a lack of knowledge about …
The time-making capacity of the technology industry and its consequences for public life
In the past few decades, the technology industry has been wielding increasing power over public life as it intervenes in many social domains including education. These interventions occur not only through the products and services the industry sells or provides in these domains but also through direct interactions between technology industry personnel and actors within these domains. Drawing on 23 interviews with Israeli school principals (as wel…
Who Learns to Teach? Student-Teachers as Change Agents, Mentor-Teachers as Learners
Teachers’ professional learning is a desired goal, which contributes to the improvement of educational outcomes. Some claim it can take place on the job, specifically when teachers co-teach with and mentor student-teachers. Nevertheless, only little is known regarding student-teachers’ role in shaping the learning experience of mentor-teachers. We present findings from a multiple case study focusing on mentors’ professional learning. We explain h…
An emerging taxonomy explaining mentor-teachers’ role in student-teachers’ practicum
Rich literature discusses teacher mentoring, provides relevant knowledge, and advances the field. However, it lacks consensus about the meaning of teacher mentoring. Oftentimes teacher mentoring studies rely on predetermined concepts or focus on isolated elements, yet seldom contribute to an overarching theory stemming from the nitty-gritty details that make mentoring essential for novice and veteran teachers. Following a field-grounded theory ap…
Three professional ideals
Developing effective models for teacher preparation is an ongoing challenge for teacher educators. Such models require meticulous attention to both content and pedagogy and to the way these components manifest a professional vision, with an understanding that a programme‘s content and pedagogy not only shape an image of the ideal teacher but are also shaped by it. In this paper, we reflect on the current landscape of teacher preparation and intro…
The good despot
We examine how the technology industry intervenes in social domains not directly tied to its products, services, and immediate commercial concerns. We intend to develop a framework for considering the ways technology and the technology industry reshape these domains in ways both intended and unintended. Drawing on sociologies of knowledge and technology and a set of 20 semi-structured interviews with technology workers and HR professionals workin…
Teacher Education in a New Age of Accountability
This paper intends to demonstrate how within the current contentious environment for teacher education in the U.S., two small teacher preparation programs conducted a voluntary coordinated long-term self-evaluation study, that partially responded to external accountability pressures by the Federal administration, state agencies and various private and non-governmental organizations. In particular, we focus on findings about graduates’ preparation…
Inspiration in Surprising Places
Establishing Financial Literacy (FL) programs for K-12 students is an emerging concern for policymakers worldwide. Such programs esteem the market a preferred arena for economic decision-making than the civic arena. In parallel, media organizations in many capitalist economies are devoting increasing resources to popular coverage of finance, which could be regarded as an informal form of FL. We build on the distinction between episodic and themat…
An ideological clash of worldviews in State religious schools in Israel
The savior and the devil
This study maps, characterizes, and conceptualizes the media discourse and coverage of non-governmental organization–school interactions within public education in Israel, while depicting the evolving dynamics and framing of this ever prominent phenomenon. The authors employed two complementary methodologies for the analysis: critical discourse analysis and framing theory. Specifically, this study pinpoints how neo-liberal notions are used and co…
Staying Above the Fray
This article examines the mass media’s role in shaping education policy debates in light of pluralist theory and Bourdieu’s social fields theory. We content analyzed the coverage of New Jersey education policy debates during 1985, when the governor moved to consolidate his power in the education field. We used quantitative framing and conflict analysis and found that the media presented educational policy debates in ways that advantaged political…
The retention question in context-specific teacher education
Choosing to Teach in Urban Schools Among Graduates of Elite Colleges
According to the research literature, there are three reasons that draw teachers into teaching: (1) gender-related reasons, (2) altruistic reasons, and (3) monetary rewards and job flexibility. Based on data from three teacher preparation programs, this article argues that teachers who were trained at elite colleges and who chose teaching in urban schools rarely referred to any of the three reasons. Instead, these teachers tend to (a) conceptuali…
Theorizing the Politics of Educational Reform
Employing Bourdieu’s notion of social field, this research conceptualizes New Jersey’s alternate route to teacher certification as a contested arena, in which the interests, ideologies, and visions of different stake‐holders regarding the character of public education have collided. Findings for this study are primarily based on data from the New Jersey State Archives and on other open public documents. I conclude that during the 1980s New Jersey…
Who Should Guard the Gates? Evidentiary and Professional Warrants for Claiming Jurisdiction
This article explores empirical and theoretical literature relevant to accreditation of teacher education programs. The lack of substantial research on accreditation makes it impossible to make empirically based claims about the value-added of such processes, including how accreditation processes enhance the professionalization of teacher education. Contemporary scholarship, especially in sociology, also raises questions, especially about the unc…
