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