Classroom management learning at the workplace: how to support student teachers?

Samenvatting

This publication is about student teachers’ classroom management learning, the challenges they face in practice, how the learning process occurs, and how
teacher educators in schools and at institutes can support them in doing so.
Focusing on classroom management during student teachers’ learning at the workplace is of great importance because of the high dropout rates among
beginning teachers, which intern has a negative impact on the general teacher shortage. Teacher education institutes and professional development schools (PDS) are therefore committed to equipping teachers with skills to survive in the early stages of being a teacher, to increase job satisfaction and to further develop their professional development. Classroom management learning should be an explicit part of the rich learning environment at schools. The biggest is challenge here is the connection between theory and practice in the internship curriculum
and the consequences it has for the supervision by institute based teacher educators and school based teacher educators. This section offers insights and
suggestions to work with this in teacher education practice.
