TLDR
In this paper, the authors argue that a consultative mentoring model that acknowledges individuality is more effective in the growth of teacher identity than the more traditional supervision model that focuses mainly on socialization.Abstract:
Models of learning to teach recognize the important relationship between university and school settings. The roles that educators in each setting play in the development of effective beginning teachers are not discrete. Rather they complement and support one another. Building upon existing literature, and utilizing recent data, this paper challenges teacher educators to consider how pre-service teacher core beliefs and perceptions affect the dynamics of learning to teach and the establishment of a teacher identity. To facilitate these, it is argued that a consultative mentoring model that acknowledges individuality is more effective in the growth of teacher identity than the more traditional supervision model that focuses mainly on socialization. Reflective practice is promoted as crucial and its development is the responsibility of all teacher educators— both at university and in the schools.read more

Beyond ‘what works’: understanding teacher identity as a practical and political tool
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for conceptualizing teacher professional identity is proposed, based on previous research that focused on the formation and mediation of teacher professional identities. But, the model is limited to the formation of a teacher's identity and does not consider the process by which a teacher becomes a teacher and what it is to be a teacher.
