Process of becoming a teacher(Fuller & Bown, 1975) • Preteaching concerns • Early concerns about survival arise • Teaching situations concerns • Concerns about pupils
Propose the notion of career stages(Unruh abd Turner, 1970) • Initial teaching period (approximately 1 to 5 years) • Period of building security (approximately 6 to 15 years) • Maturing period (approximately 15 years and more)
Four stage of teacher development at University High School in Urbana(Gregorc, 1973) • Becoming stage • Growing stage • Maturing stage • Fully functioning stage
Four developmental stages of preschool teachers and the training needs necessary at each of the stages(Katz, 1972) • Survival lasts about one to two years and requires technical, on-site-support • Consolidation lasts into the third year and requires on-site assistance, access to specialist, and the advice of colleagues and consultants • Reneval lasts through the fourth year. Strategies prescribed to meet professional training needs include conferences, professional organizations, demonstration projects, teacher centers, and professional journals • Maturity extends through the fifth year and beyond. Appropriate professional development activities here include seminars, institutes, courses, degree programs, books, conferences, and journals.
