In \u003cem\u003ePriorities in Teacher Education\u003c\/em\u003e, Clare Kosnik and Clive Beck argue that teacher preparation should be given sharper focus, identifying seven priority areas: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eprogram planning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003epupil assessment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eclassroom organization and community\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003einclusive education\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esubject content and pedagogy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eprofessional identity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ea vision for teaching \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eLong-time teacher education instructors and researchers themselves, the authors identified these priorities through literature-based research and the findings of a three-year study following twenty-two graduates through their first years of teaching. Packed with examples and quotes about these experiences, the book is broken down into seven chapters, each focusing on one of the seven priorities and containing a case study of one teacher whose experiences embody the priority being discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the chapters progress, the authors increasingly demonstrate the interplay between the seven priorities, showing that none of them can be pursued in isolation, and building a comprehensive base of essential knowledge for beginning teachers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTeacher educators will find \u003cem\u003ePriorities in Teacher Education\u003c\/em\u003e a key guide to pre-service preparation, while new and student teachers will benefit enormously from reading the 'front line' accounts of their contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clare Kosnik, Clive Beck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415481279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415481274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 211","brand":"Clare Kosnik","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451129319679,"sku":"9780415481274","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df29c2b1-ce8c-48d3-a99c-4a086505f3fe.jpg?v=1735876540","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/priorities-in-teacher-education-clare-kosnik-9780415481274","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
