This article considers the future of teacher education through researching the impact of encouraging cosmopolitan perspectives in an undergraduate children’s literature course for preservice teachers. The research question focuses on how preservice teachers respond to reading and dialoguing through a cosmopolitan lens. Reading literature through a cosmopolitan lens entails a reflexive consideration of personal convictions and a reflective openness to learning from the perspectives of others. The results of this study provide insights into how preservice teachers understood a cosmopolitan response. The results also highlight the need for further critical inquiry into how to invite greater reflexive consciousness and reflective openness to other perspectives in preparing teachers for a diverse society.

The future of teaching will increasingly rely on overseas-trained teachers (OTTs) to address teacher shortages. While research on OTTs in the United States is expanding, studies focusing on Afro-Caribbean teachers are emerging. Despite the growing call for more teachers of color, Afro-Caribbean OTTs’ contributions are often overlooked due to their immigrant status. We propose the concepts of “radical transparency” and “fugitive care” to articulate how these teachers’ classroom practices offer alternative possibilities for schooling, making the learning process both explicit and equitable for all students. Drawing on a Transnational Black Feminist Framework (TBF), we highlight the unique politics of care practiced by these teachers, revealing gaps in our cultural understanding and underscoring their vital, yet understudied, contributions to education.

In this article, the Education Studies Department (ESD) at Berea College shares lessons learned while becoming an inclusive, justice-focused, and democratic Education Preparation Program (EPP) together with its “Community of Teachers” (CoT). ESD values diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI+B) and democratic relationships. These values influence how we do our work. We begin by sharing how the theoretical framework of Community of Practice (CoP) frames our case study. After explaining how a CoP applies to ESD’s approach to educator preparation, we give an overview of Berea College. We share some of its history and its eight Great Commitments. We detail how ESD is a unique EPP compared with other more traditional EPPs. Next, we chronicle the story of how ESD “walks its talk” and invests in the teacher profession. We detail the participants of the case study, outline our methodology of the case study, and share the data we analyzed for this article. Data were analyzed and three emergent themes were discovered about the praxis of ESD: (a) community-engaged and justice-focused teacher preparation, (b) community building within teacher preparation programs, and (c) diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. The article concludes by sharing implications for EPPs and a conclusion.

Teacher education research, by and large, has been profoundly influenced by psychological interpretations of beliefs, particularly the assumption that teachers attempt to reconcile, rationalize, minimize, or avoid contradictions. Building on research across multiple disciplines, which demonstrates that people live harmoniously with contradictions in many situations, we argue that suppositions that people feel compelled to address contradictions have obscured the multitude of inconsistencies that teachers navigate without notice in their everyday lives. Through a multisited, in-depth analysis of a teacher across planning, teaching, debrief and interview contexts, we show that what appears to be contradictory from the perspective of researchers is not necessarily inconsistent for teachers. We explore the theoretical, methodological, and professional learning implications of this shift in interpreting teacher contradictions and inconsistencies.

This qualitative, embedded single case study provides a rich description exploring the evolution of preservice teachers’ intention to use and actual use of technology-enabled learning (TEL) during student teaching. The study followed four middle-level education majors at a mid-size public teaching university in the southeastern United States during their student teaching experience (spring 2021). Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) guided this qualitative inquiry. Interviews, observations, and analysis of teaching artifacts (e.g., lesson plans, lesson reflections, and TEL artifacts) were conducted to support data triangulation. In addition to applying theory-based qualitative codes to the data, open coding was conducted to identify themes across the body of evidence. Findings extended previous TPB research regarding preservice teachers’ intention to use TEL in application use cases and yield practical implications for teacher educators seeking to increase TEL intention and use in preservice teacher populations.
这项定性、嵌入式单一案例研究提供了丰富的描述,探讨了职前教师在学生教学期间使用技术辅助学习(TEL)的意图和实际使用情况的演变。这项研究跟踪了美国东南部一所中等规模公立师范大学的四名中级教育专业学生的学生教学经历(2021 年春季)。阿曾的 "计划行为理论"(TPB)为本次定性调查提供了指导。我们通过访谈、观察和对教学工件(如教案、课程反思和电信技术工件)的分析来支持数据三角测量。除了对数据进行基于理论的定性编码外,还进行了开放式编码,以确定整个证据库的主题。研究结果扩展了以往关于职前教师在应用案例中使用 TEL 的意向的 TPB 研究,并对教师教育者提高职前教师使用 TEL 的意向产生了实际影响。

Globally, enduring skepticism around professionalism in education systems has questioned the efficiency in which teachers meet students’ educational needs and their authority to do so. Presently, efforts toward professionalization in teacher education (TE) are threatened by neoliberal reforms promoting alternative pathways into teaching and performance-based accountability mechanisms to monitor teachers and schools. In the face of public mistrust and external threats, this conceptual paper aims to envision the future of TE in light of the complexities inherent to the notion of professionalism. To this end, two competing ideals of teaching, which represent co-existing conceptions of professional work in education are examined: The teacher as an expert clinician ideal entrenched in expertise-driven professionalism and the teacher as a democratic pedagogue grounded in democratic professionalism. I offer ways in which these competing discourses could be fused to set the discussion about professionalism in teaching and its implications for TE on firmer grounds.
在全球范围内,对教育系统专业化的长期怀疑质疑了教师满足学生教育需求的效 率及其权威性。目前,师范教育(TE)专业化的努力受到了新自由主义改革的威胁,这些改革提倡通过其他途径进入教师队伍,并通过基于绩效的问责机制来监督教师和学校。面对公众的不信任和外部威胁,本概念性论文旨在从专业化概念固有的复杂性出发,展望师范教育的未来。为此,本文探讨了两种相互竞争的教学理想,它们代表了并存的教育专业工作理念:一种是以专业知识为导向的专业精神中根深蒂固的教师作为临床专家的理想,另一种是以民主专业精神为基础的教师作为民主教学者的理想。我提出了将这些相互竞争的论述融合在一起的方法,以便为有关教学专业精神的讨论及其对 TE 的影响奠定更坚实的基础。

Across the United States, current curricular reforms are centering high-quality instructional material (HQIM) as a lever for improving classroom instruction and student achievement. While multiple legislative definitions of HQIM attend primarily to the degree of standards alignment, we expand quality to encompass rigor and cultural responsiveness. As teachers make decisions about curriculum materials, they demonstrate curriculum literacy. We conceptualize curriculum literacy as the capacity to navigate teacher identities, learner and community assets, and instructional materials. We survey the literature related to curriculum, curriculum literacy, and teacher education. We then present a framework for curriculum literacy in initial teacher preparation and describe three instructional tools for developing preservice teachers’ curriculum literacy. These tools support teachers’ practices of critically reflecting on their identities in relation to curriculum, contextualizing curricular decisions, and evaluating existing instructional materials. Implications for policy, practice, and future research are discussed.

Many teacher educators seek to implement culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP) in their courses. However, enactment is often mediated by our socialization into whiteness and niceness. This study investigates how our self-study community of practice (SSCoP) of eight White female literacy teacher educators at different institutions collaborated to narrow the gap between our aspirations for implementing CRP and enacted practice. Through analysis of collaborative journal entries, we interpret tensions between what niceness and whiteness demand of us and what enactment of CRP requires: (a) between centering equity in our courses and addressing equity on the margins, (b) between enactment of critical pedagogy and maintaining status as “nice” educators, and (c) between the expectation of expertise and the necessity of a learning stance. We argue that teacher educators might use SSCoP spaces to navigate the complex interplay between their identities and the sociopolitical context of teacher education to more fully enact CRP.

Preparing educators to engage families and communities is one of the most promising ways to improve student learning and build equitable schools. In this commentary, authors from the National Association for Family, School, and Community Engagement explore the landscape of educator preparation for family and community engagement and describe a framework created to reimagine how educators are prepared for this important work. The commentary also highlights outcomes and promising practices from nine collaboratives of educator preparation programs and family, school, and community partners redesigning coursework, clinical experiences, programs, and systems to bring families and communities to the center of the educator preparation process.
