Session Type: Symposium
Preservice teachers need to be prepared not only to effectively teach content but need to be able do so in ways that provide diverse students with access to the Discourses of the core disciplines. This symposium considers the nature of knowledge sources (linguistic, cultural, personal, or other) that preservice teachers draw on when considering and engaging in instructional choices. Participants use various research tools to examine this phenomena, including cognitive interviews, surveys, and classroom observations. The implications of this research are considered in terms of teacher knowledge and teacher preparation.
