Abstract
Student teaching serves as the culminating field experience in the majority of teacher education programs, and studies have revealed the need to investigate the connection between pre-service teachers and the emotions they experience, express, and manage. Therefore, the overarching purpose of this phenomenological case study was to examine how one Early Childhood (PreK-5th) Education Program addressed and prepared teachers for the emotional dimensions of teaching, as well as to examine the emotional experiences of the student teachers. The results of this study revealed the need for teacher education programs to amend the ways in which they prepare pre-service teachers, so, just as K-12 teachers develop the whole child, teacher educators are able to develop the whole teacher through emotionally anticipatory and responsive pedagogy. Limitations of the study, as well as recommendations for future studies are included.
