Abstract

The five projects highlighted in this special issue represent a range of approaches to transforming teacher preparation programs. In this article, I describe how these programs are scaffolding teachers’ change efforts through the use of three powerful approaches: collaboration, modeling, and reflection. Similarities and differences among the five projects are described and suggestions are made for future research.
