(Un)Becoming a Teacher: Negotiating Identities While Learning to Teach.

Sumara, Dennis J.; Luce-Kapler, Rebecca

Canadian Journal of Education, v21 n1 p65-83 1996

Use of a "writerly" text, one that encouraged students to intersperse their own responses, assisted education students in negotiating the identities they brought to teaching and those they developed during teacher education. The importance of providing opportunities to examine cultural myths about teaching in the teacher education curriculum is emphasized. (SLD)
