Voices of Beginning Teachers

By Richard H. Dollase

Richard Dollase's research aims to bring a new perspective to the literature on beinning teaching. In Voices of Beginning Teachers: Visions and Realities, he charts the beginning classroom experiences of well-prepared, idealistic individuals - liberal arts graduates from select colleges and universities - who have elected, often with some reservations, to pursue a career in secondary school teaching. Do they find their initial experiences disillusioning or rewarding? How effectively has their training prepared them for classroom life? Are their dreams consistent with the settings in which they find themselves - and with the views of their more experienced colleagues?
