“…Research supports that close relationships with schools and other stakeholders would give confidence to beginning teachers (Plessis & Sunde, 2017). As mentioned earlier, working with private schools is a relatively recent phenomenon, and relationships with partner schools not only need time to mature but also require 'commitment, engagement, and continuous transparent examination of mutual agendas' (Ma & Green, 2023).…”

The success criteria of any program, largely revolves around the success of its graduate in the practical field. The teaching practicum gives such opportunities for the prospective teachers to acquire desired teaching skills for a successful -career. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of the prospective teachers during teaching practicum by highlighting the opportunities and challenges. As private schools have been recently added to the pool of schools for practicum, therefore the study was delimited to the practicum in private schools that takes place during the third year of their program. Data was collected from 15 prospective teachers of three batches with help of semi-structured interviews. The data analysis was done through initial coding and then classifying codes into four themes. The emerging themes revealed opportunities in organized environments, infrastructure with facilities, and rigorous learning. Whereas the obstacles included allocation of classes, work pressure and trust concerns of cooperative teachers. However, the challenges didn’t shadow the learning of prospective teachers and served as much needed experience needed to be successful in future. This research aims to assist teacher educators and policymakers in harnessing the full potential of teaching practicum to cultivate a skilled workforce, ultimately enhancing the quality of education.

PurposeIn the Fall of 2019, Marietta College and Marietta City Schools, in Marietta, Ohio, piloted a program to improve literacy knowledge and pedagogy through completing LETRS training, a two-year literacy professional development based on the science of reading, as peers.Design/methodology/approachThis project was aligned to effective professional development research that states better trainings are content-specific, allow support and collaboration and are ongoing throughout the school year (Blank and de las Alas, 2009; Darling-Hammond, Hyler, and Gardener, 2017) and respect participants work/life schedules (Bigsby and Firestone, 2017).FindingsSome benefits of this collaboration were that teachers, college faculty and teacher candidates were able to communicate more effectively about literacy because we all had shared background knowledge and spoke the same language when it came to literacy. We were also able to make more meaningful clinical experiences for our teacher candidates because we created a stronger connection between the knowledge and pedagogy taught in students’ literacy courses and the practices they saw in real classrooms. Inservice teachers saw the college faculty and teacher candidates as strong partners, which greatly strengthened our clinical preparation.Practical implicationsThe paper includes implications for the development of stronger partnerships between teacher preparation program faculty and school partnership faculty and more authentic and meaningful clinical experiences for teacher candidates.Originality/valueThis project shows how meaningful partnerships and clinical experiences can be created when partnership faculty are seen as peers.
