Learning to Teach: Curricular and Pedagogical Considerations for Teacher Preparation introduces the reader to a collection of thoughtful research-based works by the authors. The chapters reflect the personal and professional experiences, based on field-research, of the contributing authors. The research study presented in each chapter offers different perspectives and approaches to ‘learning to teach’. Bridging theory and research in pre-service teacher preparation programs are examined. Each study reflects the findings on how the components and experiences of teacher preparation are addressed in diverse contexts and disciplines as well as the prevalent challenges for pre-service teacher preparation. Chapter One opens the book with a focus on learning to teach and the importance of symmetry in preparation and practice. Chapters Two – Ten present field-based research that examines the important complexities of ‘learning to teach’ in pre-service teacher preparation, acknowledging that across different disciplines the ‘learning to teach’ experiences vary based on the role and responsibilities that teachers have upon entering the classroom to teach.

Learning to Teach: Curricular and Pedagogical Considerations for Teacher Preparation is a “must read” for faculty and staff in teacher education programs across the nation. The chapters in this book explore fundamental connections between teacher preparation and P-12 classrooms. Research-supported topics on pre-service teacher perceptions, preparation to practice, preparing to teach in diverse settings, and preparation of depth in content knowledge are the focus of this book. Are we making the connections for our teachers to meet the needs of an ever-changing society? That is the question we should be asking ourselves as we reflect on these chapters.
