Learning To Feel Like a Teacher

Authors

  • Kelvin Seifert

Abstract

An important, but neglected psychological issue in teacher education is the difference between identity as felt or experienced, and identity as attributed by others. This article explores the nature of the difference and the limits it places on what teacher educators can hope to accomplish in preservice teacher education programs. Common pedagogical strategies, such as reflective writing and the organization of students in cohorts, have built-in limitations that instructors and administrators need to recognize.
