The Critical Role of Dispositions: What's Missing in Measurements of English Teacher Candidate Effectiveness
Hochstetler, Sarah
Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, v87 n1 p9-14 2014
This article explores a fundamental indicator missing from current assessments of preservice teacher effectiveness, namely the importance of competencies central to professionalism and to impact on student learning. Drawing from her classroom experiences and relevant research, the author makes the case that evaluation of English teacher candidates' "dispositions" is necessary in measures of professional readiness.
