Teaching Future Teachers: A Model Workshop For Doctoral Education, Julia Pryce

Julia Pryce

Doctoral student training has become focused in recent years on acquiring subject-area knowledge and research skills, rather than on teaching.

Suggestions are provided for ways to incorporate such an effort into current social work doctoral education.
