Evaluation Scores

Effective teachers are those who can create a classroom climate which meets the needs of the students (Darling-Hammond, 2009; Hart and Hodsen, 2004). In an attempt to identify preservice teachers who can create this type of classroom, Missouri added a workplace inventory, the Missouri Educator Profile (MEP), to their required battery of teacher preparation program (TPP) entrance assessments between the years of 2013 and 2018. Theoretically, students who scored similarly to the normed teacher group would perform similarly to those proficient teachers in the classroom during practicum as well. While the MEP is still available for TPP use, it is no longer a requirement. The purpose of this mixed methods study is to examine the perceptions of the constructs of quality teachers through the lens of current practicing educators in a Missouri Teacher Preparation Program and to discover if indicators on the MEP are predictive of performance evaluation scores. The results of this study may have the potential to either persuade or dissuade Missouri TPPs to utilize the MEP.

This paper describes the first stages of a project focusing on the use of preservice-teacher-generated e-Portfolios as a means of documenting and assessing inquiry-based teaching and learning. The project is designed to explore ways in which preservice teacher-created e-Portfolios can be used to (1) document how inquiry lives in practice, and (2) help university instructors and practitioners in the field assess the knowledge, skills, and attributes of preservice teachers who are participating in an inquiry based teacher preparation program.

Narrative Representations

The present study is a narrative analysis of 14 self-created books by Latina/o/x bilingual preservice teachers to describe their biliteracy trajectories. Drawing on the concept of identity and bilingualism, this analysis explores how preservice teachers experienced language and literacy and how these experiences have shaped their bilingual–biliterate identities. The findings of this research study revealed that bilingual preservice teachers (a) narrated Spanish as a significant part of their remembered identities, (b) struggled to maintain their bilingualism and biliteracy, and (c) reconnected and reclaimed their bilingual–biliterate identities through their experiences in their teacher preparation program.

Research suggests that teachers' definitions of advocacy are highly influenced by their academic preservice education, even more than their other experiences (Mevawalla & Hadley, 2012), leading to this being a critical focus for undergraduate pre-service teacher preparation (Snyder, 2012). Advocacy can be viewed by preservice teachers as a worthy, albeit intimidating, goal. This chapter describes a structured advocacy project in an undergraduate teacher preparation program. The project was broken down into component parts across the students' final semester and served as the capstone seminar for the teacher preparation program.

There has been a great deal of controversy surrounding the inclusion of students with disabilities in general education classrooms. when students with disabilities are included in general education classrooms, such placements must be congruent with the concept of least restrictive environment (lre). five criteria are identified in this article as elements important to the establishment of an lre within inclusive general education classrooms. these criteria have implications for the preparation of preservice teachers. these implications are the foci for suggested teacher preparation program elements related to the efficacy of preservice classroom teachers.
