The Road to Becoming a Teacher demonstrates how student activities become part of the formative processes towards becoming a teacher. The various contributions describe the ways in which preservice teachers reflect over the professional they wish to become, and what aspects of this formation they wish to give more emphasis. The goal of the chapters is that they collectively demonstrate how preservice teachers can build academic insight and understanding of themselves as teachers, constructing their professional identities alongside a familiarity with the skills needed for the job. The road that preservice teachers take towards becoming fully qualified teachers entails close collaboration with their fellow students and educators, and the book elucidates the ways in which the instructors employed in teacher education can inspire their students. The contributions to the anthology engage with and develop the theoretical discourses of the field. Simultaneously, the chapter authors provide examples of how student active teaching may be carried out, examples that might be utilized by other educators. The target audience of the book are researchers and academic staff at universities and colleges, particularly within teacher education programs. It is also relevant for preservice teachers and professional teachers.
