(b) How do cooperating teachers report making decisions about student teachers' classroom responsibilities? (c) What are cooperating teachers' perceptions of the purposes of student teaching?

They perceived themselves as valuable partners in the process of teacher education. Having worked with many student teachers, the cooperating teachers in this study perceived that their classrooms served as laboratories for learning how to teach. They also felt that student teachers were able to learn about children. The major difference between elementary and secondary teachers was that teachers' expectations for student teachers at the secondary level were more content specific. Elementary teachers tended to expect their student teachers to be generalists.","Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:49:50Z (GMT).
