Rust, Frances O'Connell
Teaching and Teacher Education, v15 n4 p367-80 May 1999
Undergraduate students and recent graduates of an urban teacher education program met regularly to discuss becoming reflective, effective teachers. Qualitative analysis of conversations highlighted the complex learning involved in teaching and factors in teacher education and schools that supported and hindered new teachers' work. The study indicates the potential of conversation and storytelling to sustain teacher learning and inquiry. (SM)
