Using a Bioecological Proximal Process Model to Understand Tensions in Teacher Identity Development
The development of a strong professional teacher identity plays an important role in supporting early career teacher development and teacher career longevity. The ways in which tensions between personal and professional identities are experienced and managed by preservice teachers (PSTs) can influence the development of teacher identity. This study explores how PSTs manage tensions they encounter in the development of their professional teacher i…
Sustainable development goals in initial teacher education
This article explores how initial teacher education in Aotearoa New Zealand is working towards commitment to UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through systemic educational engagement within the broader political and historical context. It provides a systems-based model for exploring a subset of five SDGs that speak directly to the role of teacher education in this global conversation about sustainability. From this analysis, other nat…

Ten university partners (principals, teachers, and a student) were interviewed to elicit their understanding of the principles for partnership: authentic, reciprocal, equitable, enduring, and innovative. Interviews were coded using metaphor ana…

This study examines the influence of initial teacher education programme design elements and preservice teachers’ personal characteristics on their personal and collective efficacy. Survey data from 11 tertiary intuitions in New Zealand were analysed using exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. Personal efficacy was positively predicted by being an older student and being female, more life experiences working with children,…
Using complexity theory to understand teaching
This paper is an exploratory analysis of preservice teachers' understandings of teaching as complex activity through the explicit use of complexity theory. Interviews with 38 primary and secondary preservice teachers enrolled in a one-year, graduate-level, university-based teacher education programme in Aotearoa New Zealand indicate limitations in the conceptual language these preservice teachers have for naming and understanding this complexity …
Embodied knowing
This paper introduces a model for teacher education that gives shape and meaning to witnessing one's own reactions to and development of equity-based teaching. Data from a school-based teacher inquiry group provide two illustrations of how the model, based on a conceptual framework from feminist ethics, can be used to guide relational witnessing for teachers who are striving toward equity-based practice. We conclude with recommendations for under…
How Japanese education boards frame teacher education as a training, learning, and policy problem
The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology recommended the implementation of Kyoshi-juku by local Education Boards. Kyoshi-juku provide teacher preparation curricula, classroom observational experiences, and specific information about working in local school contexts as a supplement to the preparation curriculum and clinical experiences offered through higher education. We describe the content and implementation o…
Neighborhood Disadvantage, Poor Social Conditions, and Cardiovascular Disease Incidence Among African American Adults in the Jackson Heart Study
Objectives. To examine the impact of neighborhood conditions resulting from racial residential segregation on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in a socioeconomically diverse African American sample. Methods. The study included 4096 African American women (n = 2652) and men (n = 1444) aged 21 to 93 years from the Jackson Heart Study (Jackson, Mississippi; 2000–2011). We assessed neighborhood disadvantage with a composite measure of 8 indicators f…
What Is the Underlying Conception of Teaching of the edTPA
The edTPA, a nationally available performance assessment for teacher candidates, has recently been developed and implemented in teacher education programs across the United States. Advocates make arguments for the need for such an assessment while critics of standardized performance assessments point out the dangers of standardization. This article takes a step back from the arguments in support of or in opposition to the assessment and asks fund…

Coping With Uncertainty in Teacher Mentoring
This article describes some of the complexity embedded in mentoring relationships among teachers and analyzes them through the lens of ethical tensions. The author draws on three instances from a larger collection of cases of mentoring dilemmas situated within the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards portfolio-based assessment system. The selected cases provide an avenue into the exploration of how mentors cope with the uncertainty …
Improving Teachers’ Assessment Practices Through Professional Development
This study examines how mathematics and science teachers’ classroom assessment practices were affected by the National Board Certification process. Using a 3-year, longitudinal, comparison group design, evidence of changes in teachers’ classroom practice were measured on six dimensions of formative assessment. The National Board candidates began the study with lower mean scores than the comparison group on all six assessment dimensions; had highe…

Practical Leadership
Teachers often resist the label of "leader" and the hierarchical structures that the idea of leader conjures, yet they continue to engage in leadership enactment. This article describes an alternative conception of teacher leadership—practical leadership—embodied by leadership enactment through local deliberation and action. This notion is grounded in teachers' accounts of their everyday work and framed within the theoretical tradition of practic…
