Innovations in Teacher Education: A Social Constructivist Approach (SUNY series, Teacher Preparation and Development) - Tapa dura

"I wish a book like this had been around a decade ago when I was immersed in the difficult work of preparing preservice teachers! It is filled with wonderful examples of many faculty action research projects that collectively and slowly helped to build top-notch teacher education programs, and it also does an excellent job of giving away the top secrets of gaining the institutional support one needs to take innovations to action."

Discusses examples of successful teacher education programs in Australia, Canada, and the United States, and presents fundamental principles of teacher education from a social constructivist perspective.
