In teacher education, field work in community-based spaces (including foster homes and programs for homeless youth) is frequently contrasted with 'traditional' field experiences in classroom settings, where beginning teachers are immediately introduced to teacher-centered models of instruction. This volume works against such a model, presenting a counter-narrative of new teachers’ understanding of the act of teaching. By exploring their work with at risk youth in community-based sites, it unites the practical aspects of field work and with theoretical conceptions of teaching, and envisions how the work and the definition of 'teaching' can be broadened.
