"It was the hardest thing I ever had to do, emotionally
and mentally." These are not the words we generally associate with a
university student who is undergoing teacher training, yet Concordia
researcher Anita Sinner has heard similar statements from many such
individuals.
Every year thousands of students make the transition from
student to teacher and the stories of those who struggle are often
missing from our conversations.
"Pre-service teachers who experience varying degrees of struggle have
few stories against which to compare their experiences when entering
the teaching profession," Sinner explains. This magnifies a sense of
dislocation in the very profession they seek to dedicate their working
lives."
