Preservice Teachers Want More, More, More Supervision (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783639103533)

The position of a university supervisor is a very important one. There is a heavy reliance on the university supervisor to act as the communication and instructional link between the university and educational field sites. It is important to consider which practices of the university supervisors are the most beneficial for the development of the preservice teacher candidates. This research study was conducted in order to better understand the nature of the various roles, responsibilities, and practices of middle childhood university supervisors in the state of Ohio. This study will add to the small pool of educational research focused on supervision of middle childhood preservice teacher candidates. This study will inform teacher educators, researchers, state officials, and financial stakeholders as to the nature of the middle childhood university supervisors' services in providing appropriate support, feedback, and instruction that is applicable for the middle childhood preservice teacher candidates. A key finding of the study indicated that preservice teachers want more, more, more supervision.
