Stories of Beginning Teachers
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted

Rating
0.0 stars

This is a project/assignment based on four stories presented regarding teachers during their first year teaching. Most of the content from these stories is applicable to all first year teachers even though these specific teachers were all high school science. I have used these as successful guides for a range of topics pertinent for students preparing to become teachers. The final component, part four, of this project/assignment is a self-reflection which I have used with students completing their student teaching experience. These students were concurrently enrolled in a seminar which served as a nice platform for this. The stories addressed in the worksheet are from a dissertation, chapter four.  This dissertation is easily accessed with a link provided in the initial directions of this assignment/project.
