Session Submission Type: Symposium
Teachers are the most important in-school factor influencing students' literacy learning. Therefore, it is important to understand and support preservice teachers’ perspectives and visions because these influence their instruction. This symposium brings together four studies investigating teachers' visions for their literacy instruction. The first paper is a comprehensive research synthesis on the construct of teacher visions. The remaining three papers are empirical studies of teachers’ visions using three different methodologies with three different populations.
