  • Cooperating Teacher Participation in Teacher Education: a Review of the Literature
    RER499618RER10.3102/0034654313499618Clarke et al.Cooperating Teachers Review of Educational Research June 2014, Vol. 84, No. 2, pp. 163–202 DOI: 10.3102/0034654313499618 © 2013 AERA. http://rer.aera.net Cooperating Teacher Participation in Teacher Education: A Review of the Literature Anthony Clarke University of British Columbia Valerie Triggs University of Regina Wendy Nielsen University of Wollongong Student teachers consider cooperating teachers to be one of the most impor- tant contributors to their teacher preparation program. Therefore, the ways in which cooperating teachers participate in teacher education are signifi- cant. This review seeks to move conceptions of that participation beyond commonly held beliefs to empirically supported claims. The analysis draws on Brodie, Cowling, and Nissen’s notion of categories of participation to generate 11 different ways that cooperating teachers participate in teacher education: as Providers of Feedback, Gatekeepers of the Profession, Modelers of Practice, Supporters of Reflection, Gleaners of Knowledge, Purveyors of Context, Conveners of Relation, Agents of Socialization, Advocates of the Practical, Abiders of Change, and Teachers of Children. When set against Gaventa’s typology of participation, the resultant grid high- lights the importance of negotiated or invited spaces for cooperating teacher participation and provides a new way of thinking about, planning profes- sional development for, and working with cooperating teachers. KEYWORDS: cooperating teacher, the practicum, teacher education, supervision, student teacher Teacher education represents a continuum of professional development for teachers as they seek to improve their practice. An early but critical phase on that continuum is the practicum, an extended field experience under the guidance of an experienced teacher who is often referred to as a cooperating teacher.

  • Legislative Assembly
    9189 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 12 October 2000 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Henry Murray) took the chair at 10.30 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. ADDRESS BY PARALYMPIANS JULIANNE ADAMS AND HAMISH MacDONALD Mr SPEAKER: Order! Pursuant to the resolution of the House yesterday, it is my honour and privilege to welcome Paralympians Ms Julianne Adams and Mr Hamish MacDonald onto the floor of the House to address honourable members. Ms JULIANNE ADAMS: Mr Speaker and honourable members, I would like to begin—quite predictably, I think—by thanking you very, very much for this amazing opportunity to speak this morning on behalf of the Australian Paralympic Team and especially the 285 athletes. We realise that this is a wonderful opportunity and I thank you sincerely. When I was thinking about what to say today—I must confess that I have not had a lot of time to prepare, as I have been a little distracted with other things—I thought perhaps I could talk to you about the Paralympic Games, but there is no point in doing that because there is a lot of literature around that will give you that detail. Instead what I would like to do this morning is give you a little bit of a personal perspective on what it is like to be a Paralympian, how I came to this point and what the Paralympic Games mean to an athlete. Perhaps a small personal overview will put you more in the feel and the spirit of the Games. Please do not panic: I am not going to go over the past 34 years, which is my age.
