They also considered the challenges and successes encountered and the ways programs might work together to i…
Teacher Educators’ Apprenticeships of Observation and Community-Based Field Settings
This paper presents findings from a 2-year collaborative self-study examining four teacher educators’ (TEs’) experiences facilitating community-based field experiences in the United States and Canada. To examine our experiences working in these field settings we drew experiential learning theory (ELT) as well as the concept of apprenticeship of observation. Facilitating preservice teachers’ (PSTs) learning in field settings outside traditional PK…
