Summary

A tension exists when novice teachers begin to put their conceptual and theoretical understandings and pedagogical perspectives into practice. Trying to balance the complexities of teaching literacy while adapting to the challenges of the multidimensional demands of teaching and learning, they find themselves at the edge of their comfort zones. This book is about the processes of teacher development from novices to experts, about mentoring teaching in reading and writing instruction, and about ways to maximize the learning potential of both teachers and their students.
