Author Description

This unique and comprehensive handbook is written for cooperating teachers, mentors, college teacher educators, or anyone within the profession who works with student teachers. It serves as a guide to assist cooperating teachers in supporting both those student teachers who arrive for the teaching experience with natural gifts and abilities, and for those who must be carefully guided to reach their full potential. This book does not promote one right way of teaching; rather, it encourages the cooperating teacher to recognize diverse approaches. It can be used as a resource by referring to specific chapters that are most useful or of most interest, or it can be followed chapter by chapter. For supervisors and mentors of student teachers.
