A challenge for teacher education is to understand how pre-service teachers learn from experience in multiple contexts–especially when their own schooling, the university methods course, and their practicum experiences can produce conflicting images of teaching. This chapter examines how pre-service teachers interpret their school experiences in the light of their university pre-service courses, their personal histories, knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes, and the specific constraints of the school environment.
