About the Book

Techniques and Strategies for Coaching Student Teachers is for anyone who works with student teachers, K12. This might include mentor teachers, college/university supervisors, teacher educators, or staff developers. Though a practical handbook, Carol Pelletier bases her work on a clearly articulated theoretical base in which the hallmarks of teaching and learning to teach are planning and reflecting. The author's belief in the importance of dialogue is also apparent. This open-ended, user-friendly manual of suggestions and reminders is not a rule book. As Pelletier writes in the Introduction, "The handbook is not designed to maintain the status quo in education, but to have effective practice shared and innovative practice discussed"
