Engaged Clinical Practice Summary

Engaged Clinical Practice: Preparing Mentor Teachers and University-Based Educators to Support Teacher Candidate Learning and Development by Philip E. Bernhardt

Clinical experiences, supported by well-prepared mentor teachers and university-based teacher educators, are essential for developing successful teacher candidates. While the design and structure of these significant learning opportunities often vary among preparation programs, a common feature is teacher candidates work in partnered educational settings engaged in teaching that is closely aligned with coursework and in collaboration with individuals tasked with supporting their growth, development, and entry into the profession. The primary purpose of this text is to provide readers a varied set of examples from teacher preparation programs that have established effective systems, practices, and/or pedagogies to develop and support mentor teachers and university-based educators in becoming effective clinical coaches. The text endeavors to shine a bright light on those programmatic efforts shaping teacher preparation in impactful, meaningful, and sustainable ways. This text will be of primary interest to all those working in organizations, institutes of higher education, alternative licensure programs, and schools and districts involved with the preparation of teacher candidates.

Engaged Clinical Practice Reviews

Clinical practice is a critical part of quality educator preparation work. This text provides real examples of successful models and collaborations supported by years of research and theory. Building strong clinical partnerships with P-12 schools takes collaborative effort from all members of local education communities. The chapters describe a variety of ways to make these partnerships and practices a reality. Mentor teachers work with candidates at a crucial time in their development, and their work at the center of quality clinical preparation. Quality collaborations and partnerships bring attention to the critical work mentor teachers provide to candidates. The text demonstrates care and attention to all the aspects of clinical practice as part of quality preparation programs ensures quality teachers have the skills to support the next generation of students. -- Vince O'Neill, Accreditation Director, Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation
The Association of Teacher Educators (ATE) has a long history of work - both theoretical and practical - in the area of teacher preparation. Recent scholarship has turned ATE's attention to clinical practice and its impact on the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of future educators. With this two-volume set, Bernhardt, Conway, and Richardson build on prior efforts of ATE and the field to address an oft-overlooked aspect of clinically-based teacher education: the preparation of mentor teachers and university-based educators for the work of supporting teacher candidates and their learning. Chapters within this text attend to policy reports, teacher education standards, and a wide range of program designs that impact the work of teacher educators while focusing squarely on the preparation of those professionals tasked with supervising the practical, contextualized, clinically-based aspects of teacher education. This extension of the work in the field is sorely needed and will be well-received by those hoping to continually improve the education provided to teacher candidates and the resulting experiences these future educators will create for all children. -- Ryan Flessner, Associate Professor, Butler University College of Education
