Best Practices Article: Gradually Increasing Individuality: Suggestions for Improving Alternative Teacher Education Programs
Henning-Smith, Jeff
Journal of the National Association for Alternative Certification, v13 n1 p15-25 Spr 2018
The purpose of this article was to examine the use of a gradual release of responsibility (GRR) model (Pearson & Gallagher, 1983) embedded in a coteaching framework (Heck & Bacharach, 2016) during the student-teaching portion of an alternative teaching licensure program. The goal was to improve an already existing student-teacher field experience summer residency program at a large Midwestern university by better attending to its desire to help all teachers become better equipped with their selection of teaching strategies.
