  • Teacher Candidates' Negotiation of Deficit Discourse about Multilingual Learners in a Clinical Simulation

    Open AccessJessica Fundalinski, Benjamin H Dotger et al.ARTICLETESOL Quarterly2025References: 32

    Teachers and teacher candidates have been documented using deficit discourse about multilingual learners (MLs), but little is known about how dialogic interactions take place or how such language is challenged in real time. This study examines how undergraduate teacher candidates (TCs) engage in a simulated conversation with a teacher colleague who uses deficit discourse toward MLs. The resulting data highlight how TCs use both resistance strateg…

  • Core Pedagogy

    Open AccessBenjamin H DotgerARTICLEJournal of Teacher Education2015Cited by: 4References: 33

    Attention to the core practices of teaching necessitates core pedagogies in teacher preparation. This article outlines the diffusion of one such pedagogy from medical to teacher education. The concept of clinical simulations is outlined through the lens of "signature pedagogies" and their uncertain, engaging, formative qualities. Implemented in five different teacher preparation programs, simulation data highlight design principles and resulting …

  • Because Wisdom Can't Be Told

    Open AccessJoan M T Walker, Joan Walker et al.ARTICLEJournal of Teacher Education2012Cited by: 5References: 32

    This study used text-related, video-based case materials to assess teacher candidates' readiness to communicate with families. Participants ( N = 141) rated their efficacy for home-school communication and then responded to a description of a classroom-based challenge regarding one student's behavioral and academic performance. Next, they evaluated two videos, each capturing how a teacher addressed the challenge in a parent-teacher conference. Ca…

  • Where's the Line?”—Negotiating Simulated Experiences to Define Teacher Identity

    Benjamin H Dotger, Melissa J SmithARTICLEThe New Educator2009Cited by: 4References: 10

    Teacher professional identity is a concept defined and researched in a multitude of ways (Beijaard, Meijer, & Verloop, 2004). This manuscript approaches teacher identity formation from the foundations of situated cognition, social learning, and identity in community practice. Focusing on a unique teacher development intervention designed to simulate parent-teacher interactions, we examine emerging data on teacher professional boundaries and ident…
