Why Doesn't Teacher Education Begin with Experience?

Russell, Tom

Teacher Education Quarterly, v25 n4 p49-54 Fall 1998

Explores the epistemological shift embedded in one preservice program that puts extended teaching experience first in the process of learning to teach. Emphasizes the role and power of experience in learning to teach. It responds to Jones's paper on the 10 dichotomies in teacher education (SP 527 128), relating them to the notion of early teaching experience. (SM)
