Teachers in the United States are primarily White and female.
Thus, the education system is built on whiteness and maintains white supremacy.
One approach to disrupting racist outcomes is to increase the number of people of color pursuing teaching.
Yet, the ways that pre-service teachers (PSTs) are racialized often results in PSTs of color experiencing harm during teacher preparation.
Therefore, the purpose of this phenomonological study was to explore the racialized lived experiences of PSTs in a predominantly White teacher preparation program whose stated mission is to work to develop racially conscious educators who work toward equity and justice.
Participants were PSTs (n = 15) enrolled in a teacher preparation program in the Midwest who were placed into two focus groups, one that identified as people of color and one as White.
Focus groups discussed: their racialized lived experiences
(1) with faculty (2) with curriculum (3) with other PSTs (4) with cooperating teachers, and (5) with P-12 students.
Results from both groups suggest a lack of race content.
PSTs of color reported feelings of exclusion and limited racial consciousness of White peers and faculty.

The current study examines one ‘educative experience purposefully embedded in meaningful pedagogical experiences’ using the three-level model of teacher learning. Findings indicate preservice teachers derived a range of learning from the educative experience, and most were found to be surfacing, confronting, and beginning to replace naïve notions of teaching, learning, and assessment.

The purpose of this article is to use self-study methodology to uncover what effects these experiences had on the development of the author's pedagogy of teacher education and so he needed to find a way to extract ideas that were relevant to his practice as a teacher educator. The author draws two conclusions from this self-study (1) There is considerable value in re-experiencing oneself as a learner by examining one’s own life history in order to challenge how we know what we know about teaching. (2) If we accept the idea that prior experiences as a student and as a teacher influence our work as teacher educators and professors of education, then our prior experiences as a learner in non-formal settings offer a rich context for additional analysis through self-study.

The authors examine a professional development book club for teacher educators. The authors focused on understanding how teacher educators, participating in a professional development book club on English-language learners) ELL), explored their beliefs about language diversity and developed an awareness of how to best prepare future teachers for culturally and linguistically diverse schools. The authors found several overarching themes: the centrality of lived experiences, tensions within pedagogy development; and experiencing internal conflict throughout the process.

In this article, the authors discuss policy and practice relevant to teacher education and professional experience programs in Australia. The authors provide a meta-analysis of current major trends in Australian educational reform and the implications of an 'education revolution' for professional experience. The paper maps and explores broadly key education agendas of 'productivity, participation and quality'. In relation to these agendas, significant policy trends are identified under the headings of partnerships, preparation and professional learning. Furthermore, the implications of each policy trend for the field of teacher education and professional experience are explored.

In this study, the author argues that secondary schoolgirls' subjective motivations played a key role in their educational experiences during the late 1990s.
The author used ethnographic data and longitudinal interview data.
Based on the data, the author suggests that many of the young women in this study saw education as a route to independence or as a way to avoid gender-based maltreatment for themselves and their future children.
The author asserts this 'push' factor, combined with the 'pull' factors of increased economic opportunities for young women with high school diplomas, led to increased educational outcomes for girls at this time.

Scallops, Schools and Scholars: Reflections on the Emergence of A Research-Oriented Learning Project
This paper is based on the emergence of a small research group and its journey to enhance scholarly activity within a new school of education. The group explored a research-orientated learning project to determine what makes a beneficial school experience. Narrative enquiry and hermeneutic analysis were used to develop descriptions and interpretations of the phenomenon from the perspective of the participants. The analysis is presented and discussed to help understand the processes that contribute favorably to research capacity building in an academic institution.

This article argues that student voice and the active engagement of students in shaping their own educational experience are integral to the development of effective work-related learning (WRL) programmes.Student voice was accessed using an innovative form of group interview incorporating an Ishikawa, or fishbone tool. The data was collected in four English school and college settings. The findings identify 10 factors that students see as being critical if the benefits of WRL are to be secured .

This article focuses on student participation in classrooms. It aims to demonstrate that effective cultivation of educational experience in schools will lead to a new perspective on the process of teaching and learning. There are no privileged methods of teaching and learning, but most of the teachers have in mind some fuzzy ideas of what good instruction is, and there is a great variety of how teachers involve their students and how students get involved in what happens in school.
