“Third Space” Teaching (writing) Apprenticeships: Action, Agency, and Belonging
Session Information
What do teacher candidates learn about writing instruction while working in apprenticeship (Lave, & Wenger, 1991) alongside more expert others (Vygotsky, 1978), National Writing Project teacher leaders? The "third space" context (Soja, 1996) is an alternative clinical "field" site. We are studying what candidates document and identify as their emerging writing instructional commitments and practice given our conceptual framework. Informed by Schoenbach, Greenleaf, & Murphy, (2012), the framework includes these dimensions: Building a writing community (social); Being a teacher-writer (personal); Conferring with writers (knowledge-building); Developing strategic writers (cognitive); Participating in a community of practice (inquiry).
