Reading Representation:

This tree represents the growing body of knowledge that is present as I am understanding pedagogy of teacher education. Within the structure of the tree, there are characteristics that embody the meaning of teacher education, as well as terms that help describe the identity of my learners (student teachers). As I continue reading throughout the course, I foresee this tree growing with more branches of complexities that are cradled by terms that represent understanding of how I, as a teacher educator, can have more of grasp on practices that embody the betterment of learning for my student teachers, as well as myself.
