Field Experiences Center of Teacher Preparation  The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) Blue Ribbon Panel (2010) calls for longer field experiences  Longer field experiences are costly for programs, students, and schools  Extending placements could be prohibitive to the recruitment and preparation of highly qualified teacher candidates

Predicting Teacher Preparedness Teacher Preparedness Length of Internship Internship Variety Quality of Placement/CT Preparation Program Characteristics

Method  Survey administered to all early-career teachers in the state of Arkansas from  Early-career included teachers in their first 5 years of teaching  1,149 completed surveys were returned as of May 2013

Survey Comprised of six sections  Characteristics of the teacher preparation program  Characteristics of field experiences  Preparation for the classroom  Mentoring and induction  Future plans  Preparedness for classroom teaching

Predicting Teacher Preparedness Teacher Preparedness Length of Internship Internship Variety Quality of Placement/CT Preparation Program Characteristics p = R 2 = (1.7% of variance)

Predicting Teacher Preparedness Teacher Preparedness Length of Internship Internship Variety Quality of Placement/CT Preparation Program Characteristics p = p = R 2 = 0.05 (5% of variance)

Predicting Teacher Preparedness Teacher Preparedness Length of Internship Internship Variety Preparation Program Characteristics Quality of Placement/CT p = p = 0.003p = R 2 = (30% of variance)

Predicting Teacher Preparedness Teacher Preparedness Length of Internship Internship Variety Quality of Placement/CT Preparation Program Characteristics p = p = 0.007p = p = R 2 = 0.35 (35% of variance)

Implications for Programs  Programs must articulate clear vision of curriculum goals  Articulate the role the teachers plays in student learning  Align course content with field experiences to reinforce the connection of theory to practice

Implications for Field Placements  Choice of cooperating teacher is critical  Must be able to mentor and guide  Provide student teacher with freedom to try out strategies and techniques; connecting coursework and theory to practice

In Conclusion  Length of time in the field becomes secondary to…  Program cohesion  Emphasis on special populations  Alignment of course materials with field experiences  Quality cooperating teacher  We need ‘better’ not ‘more’ To download the full paper, SCAN:
