dc.description.abstract | Inclusive education is increasingly common in K-12 schools, yet teacher preparation for
inclusive education has been lagging. In the present study, interviews of teacher
candidates, mentor teachers, university faculty, and fieldwork supervisors were
completed to determine experiences of, and preparation for, inclusive education. Results
indicate that teacher candidates received very mixed, and often contradictory, messages
about inclusive education in their coursework and fieldwork experiences.
Recommendations for building capacity for inclusive fieldwork and inclusive teacher
preparation are proposed. Further, the need for teacher educators to reframe teacher
preparation, from the traditional model of preparing teachers for largely segregated roles,
to providing the skills and techniques necessary for working and succeeding in inclusive
settings, is discussed. | en_US |
