The purpose of this study was to examine ways that the unique model involving nested collaborative professional learning communities (PLCs) within a teacher education program led to a) learning for the members school/university partnership and b) refined visions of what it means to be a teacher. The findings indicated that teacher candidates came away from the experience seeing teaching as a collaborative endeavor. The ongoing feedback from both their mentor teacher and cohort colleague was critical to their learning to teach process. Furthermore, the collaborative work accelerated their opportunities to learn as they learned from both their successes and mistakes along with their partner’s successes and mistakes.
