Overview
Little research exists on teacher dispositions, yet accrediting bodies such as the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) require dispositional assessment as an integral part of teacher preparation programs. Furthermore, research has shown that dispositions are a key indicator in teacher success both in terms of instructional effectiveness and long-term retention. Teacher preparation programs require research examples and support in understanding the desired dispositions of teachers as well as how to implement these qualities and characteristics into a robust curriculum. Teacher preparation programs also need help in articulating how to assess dispositional traits of teachers and how to provide remediation in this area. Dispositional Development and Assessment in Teacher Preparation Programs addresses dispositional development for teachers including the definition, instruction, practical application, and assessment of dispositional traits. It includes research involving teacher development and preparation for the enhancement of instructional practices and teacher retention. Covering topics such as culturally relevant pedagogy, social emotional learning, and teaching philosophy, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for preservice teachers, teacher preparation programs, faculty and administration of K-12 and higher education, academic libraries, accrediting bodies, researchers, and academicians.
