Abstract: Making the Difference for Teachers emphasizes the process that students experience in order to evolve from the status of student to that of new teacher. Slick focuses on field experiences from the student teacher's perspective, including his or her assimilation of the culture of teaching. Chapter authors address such issues as effective communication, classroom management skills, productive mentoring, and the training of cooperating teachers. They also cover the needs and responsibilities of the other integral people who aid in molding new teachers: the university supervisor, the public school principal, and, of special concern, the cooperating teacher who has the responsibility of supervising students.
