Changes in the discipline of english language arts teacher education have produced a much more expansive understanding of literacy and of what teachers of English language arts do. This volume addresses these changes by featuring innovation—both theoretical and applied—in the field itself. Changes in the field of English language arts teacher education suggest a need to also examine how teachers approach learning to teach in a field that has so quickly evolved. This book seeks to understand how a future teaching force will approach this changing landscape and how we, as English teacher educators, might effectively prepare them to do so.
English, education, and curriculum and instruction scholars from the US present 11 essays that detail innovations in the field of English language arts teacher education. They describe the changing landscape of the field, including important shifts, the context of methods courses focusing on the teaching of English, and the political landscape of teacher education; preparing prospective teachers, including teaching literature through an identity-focused framework, how to address dominant discourses of adolescence, teaching English for economic justice, and writing in global teacher education programs; and the role of social justice in English language arts teacher education. -- Annotation ©2017 * (protoview.com) *
