Recent Product Reviews:
I use this with our preservice Apprentices the semester before student teaching. We love it. At this point, they have enough context to value the content and insights and we are able to explore the aspects of being a teacher that are broader than being in a classroom, particularly those aspects of dispositions and professionalism that can be harder to address in other courses but are vital.
