Abstract
Teachers have to be ready to manage the classroom and impact student learning on the first day of school. This round table discussion will provide an overview of a previous study that focused on the development of undergraduate students participating in a yearlong study and also engage participates in a discussion on a proposed study with graduate students. These graduate participates have life experiences and professional identities other than a teacher identity. Will these life experiences and professional identities impact the participants teacher development differently. The researchers are interested in two aspects: (1) how will the yearlong internship impact their development as a teacher and (2) how do the two groups compare.
