Examining the Sustainability of Pre-Service Teachers' Visions of Literacy Instruction in Their Practice
Scales, Roya
Professional Educator, v37 n2 Fall 2013
This is a study of teachers' visions. Five participants were followed through their pre-service years in the teacher education program and into their first year of teaching to see if their vision was sustained and whether it appeared in their practice. This paper describes the coding process for visions and discusses changes that occurred in the visions as participants made the transition from pre-service to in-service teachers. The paper discusses dissonance between visions and practice and presents implications for teacher educators.
