Description
Summary:Using rehearsals and in-the-moment coaching is being explored in mathematics teacher education courses at two New Zealand universities. This paper describes the perceptions of students, gathered using questionnaires, from two classes at our institution using different approaches for incorporating rehearsals and coaching. Students believed rehearsals and coaching enabled their development as teachers and mathematical understanding by providing relevant practice, discussions, and feedback. Implications include that realistic teaching opportunities with empowering coaching interruptions are useful components of teacher education.
