In this study, the authors explored the journey of five secondary teachers for two years through their teacher education program and their first year of teaching.
The findings revealed:
(1) major concerns of the preservice teachers; and
(2) teacher educators used strategies to help the preservice teachers face their concerns.
During their student teaching experiences, participants were concerned about classroom management, keeping students motivated in learning the content, and parent involvement through knowledge of their children’s academic progress or non-progress as well as of their behavioral issues.
The authors also noted that the participants expressed concern for making connections with diverse student populations.

In this study, the authors intended to focus on: (1) the development of teachers’ self-perception of their roles; (2) the major concerns of the teacher candidates; and (3) the reasons behind these concerns.
