Field experience : a guide to reflective teaching

Designed to provoke reflection and commitment, Field Experience, Sixth Edition, guides students through teaching field experiences, including--but not limited to--student teaching. Highly practical in its focus, Field Experience, Sixth Edition, moves beyond a list of do'sand don't's to help students create, reflect upon, and refine a set of goals and teaching principles that will guide them through their future teaching experiences.
