“…In Wellenreiter, Lucey, and Hatch (2010) suggest that novice teachers should engage in conversations with experienced teachers to learn from their mistakes and successes. Experienced teachers who disclose can provide stories of experience for preservice teachers thus helping them to think more critically about classroom decisions.…”
