Community fieldwork in teacher education : theory and practice

In teacher education, field work in community-based spaces (including foster homes and programs for homeless youth) is frequently contrasted with ""traditional"" field experiences in classroom settings, where beginning teachers are immediately introduced to teacher-centered models of instruction. This volume works against such a model, presenting a counter-narrative of new teachers' understanding of the act of teaching. By exploring their work with at risk youth in community-based sites, the authors uncover how non-traditional spaces for teaching and learning have the potential to open new doo.
