Synopsis: The Developing Teacher is written for future educators, who are seeking to teach children 0–8 years of age. Designed for a final semester practicum course for the early childhood education, this text acts as a manual for students to write in, and it will give guidance for the student teaching practicum. This text supports all the practices of a good student teaching experience, including synthesizing and applying prior knowledge, self-reflection, personalization, student-specific information, and relevant and current topics. Following the flow of a student teaching course, The Developing Teacher guides student teachers to apply what they have learned in previous courses to their classroom experience. Practical topics inform student teachers about professionalism and workplace roles in and outside the classroom. Most importantly, the text takes a reflective approach to all major topics so students can determine the kind of teacher they want to be.
