Abstract

Educating the whole child, the basis of U.S. education and the progressive education movement, is imperative for teacher candidates to understand and implement their work associated with teaching, learning, and schooling P-12 learners. Thus, educating the whole teacher candidate is essential for teacher educators to emphasize and facilitate in their work in teacher preparation to optimize candidates' knowledge, skills, and dispositions. Recognizing candidates' immediate concerns and their pre-existing conditions, teacher educators strive to build teacher capacity. Framing teacher candidates' personal growth, professional development, pedagogical expertise, and political astuteness on the four sources of self-efficacy leads to a life-long journey of critical consciousness and systemic transformative meaning-making. From this research, teacher candidates provide insights and inspirations beneficial for both teacher educators and teacher candidates to improve their practices and increase their self-efficacy evident in their educator preparation programs and future P-12 classrooms.
