Student Teachers in School Practice: An Analysis of Learning Opportunities (Policy and Practice in the Classroom)

Alaster Scott Douglas uses current research to develop understanding of how student teachers learn in school teaching practices. He is a researcher who has also been a school teacher, a student teacher mentor, a high school senior manager and a university teacher educator. This book, now in paperback, illustrates through detailed case studies how learning opportunities for student teachers in school practices are often very different. An analysis of the different types of learning leads to a follow-up study where the author suggests and utilises a model for developing and maximising learning opportunities in school settings.
