Fostering Inclusive Beliefs and Practices during Preservice Teacher Education through Communities of Practice.

Hutchinson, Nancy L.; Martin, Andrea K.

Teacher Education and Special Education, v22 n4 p234-50 Fall 1999

A teacher education field-based course undertook to foster the beliefs and practices of 28 elementary preservice teachers on inclusion. Candidates discussed dilemma cases about experiences with inclusion in communities of practice, on-campus, and in schools. Themes indicated maintaining a critical stance, questioning one's own assumptions, and recognizing unresolved ambiguities. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
