Family Involvement and Teacher Education Curriculum Transformation: Making Steps toward Powerful Change

摘要

The purpose of the study was to look at family involvement curriculum during the teacher preparation phrase from two lenses: the preservice teacher and the teacher-educator (university professor). The lens that focused on the preservice teacher revealed content related to family involvement from classroom assignments and focused presentations. The lens that focused on the teacher-educator looked at their assignments that were linked to family involvement and course syllabi. The findings helped frame the future design of curriculum for preservice teachers to be more prepared to work with students' parents and their families in their future classrooms and to begin to assume a commitment of engagement, even before the preservice teacher enters the classroom.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01626620.2011.620527
