Promoting Equity in Approximations of Practice for Preservice Mathematics Teachers
Carrie Wilkerson Lee
Within the field of preservice mathematics teacher (PST) education, a profound challenge echoes—the persistent gap between theoretical understanding and practical application. This lingering divide raises a critical concern, one that finds its focus in the exploration of transformative tools known as approximations of practice. These tools aim to provide a realistic and contextualized environment for PSTs to cultivate their teaching skills. However, the broader, oft-overlooked issue permeating this educational terrain is the question of equity in mathematics instruction—an issue that this book endeavors to unravel and reshape, positioning equity at the forefront of pedagogical considerations. Promoting Equity in Approximations of Practice for Preservice Mathematics Teachers , a compelling work that not only delves into the transformative role of approximations but also champions equity as a cornerstone in reshaping the landscape of mathematics education. This groundbreaking work has a dual objective—firstly, to furnish mathematics teacher educators and researchers with a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of approximations in mathematics education. It moves beyond a mere survey, encouraging readers to critically analyze frameworks and design choices that either foreground or dismiss equity in these pedagogical spaces. Divided into three sections, the book delves into the spectrum of work characterizing approximations in mathematics teacher education. The first section surveys diverse approaches, acknowledging the current lack of focus on equity. The second section critically examines the intersection of equity and approximations, fostering collaborations between experts in mathematics education and equity-focused researchers. The third section takes a forward-looking stance, envisioning the future of equity-focused approximations in mathematics education.

Handbook of Research on Reconceptualizing Preservice Teacher Preparation in Literacy Education
Juan J. Araujo
As it stands, there is currently a void in education literature in how to best prepare preservice teachers to meet the needs of individualized learners across multiple learning platforms, social/economical contexts, language variety, and special education needs. The subject is in dire need of support for the ongoing improvement of administrative, clinical, diagnostic, and instructional practices related to the learning process. The Handbook of Research on Reconceptualizing Preservice Teacher Preparation in Literacy Education stimulates the professional development of preservice and inservice literacy educators and researchers. This book also promotes the excellence in preservice and inservice literacy both nationally and internationally. Discussing topics such as virtual classrooms, critical literacy, and teacher preparation, this book serves as an ideal resource for tenure- track faculty in literacy education, clinical faculty, field supervisors who work with preservice teacher educators, community college faculty, university faculty who are in the midst of reconceptualizing undergraduate teacher education curriculum, mentor teachers working with preservice teachers, district personnel, researchers, students, and curricula developers who wish to understand the needs of preservice teacher education.

Advising Preservice Teachers Through Narratives From Students With Disabilities
Kimberly Dianne Cassidy
The lives of students with disabilities need to be told in ways that inform preservice teachers about the work involved to legally and morally meet the needs of these students. Hearing the positive and negative experiences of students with disabilities from elementary through college can inform preservice teachers as well as potentially prevent them from repeating some of the same mistakes. The richness of the personal stories of these students and how their experiences can shape the future for students like them offers teachable moments for professors and preservice teachers to use in classrooms. Advising Preservice Teachers Through Narratives From Students With Disabilities heralds the stories of students with disabilities as they trace their journey from the PK-12 setting into university and adult life and addresses aspects that any new teacher must know in order to meet the needs of today's PK-12 classrooms. Covering topics such as social justice, virtual learning, and faculty convenience, it is ideal for preservice teachers, practicing teachers, administrators, professors, researchers, academicians, and students.
