  abstract: The purpose of this inquiry was to explore how the middle
  abstract: school environment can be used by university schools of
  abstract: education to develop leadership skills for students enrolled
  abstract: in preservice education. This intent was accomplished by
  abstract: using a case study approach to study a new preservice teacher
  abstract: education course that used a single middle school to develop
  abstract: leadership skills for 36 preservice teachers who were
  abstract: preparing to teach in either elementary or middle school.
  abstract: This course was taken prior to enrolling in student teaching.
  abstract: The design of this inquiry included four phases. The first
  abstract: phase documented the history of this new preservice course
  abstract: which was designed and implemented in the Fall 1994 semester.
  abstract: The second phase described the personal history of five
  abstract: students enrolled in this course. The third phase elaborated
  abstract: patterns and trends that emerged from a content analysis of
  abstract: the five personal accounts. The final phase provided an
  abstract: inventory of recommendations for replicating this new
  abstract: preservice course in future semesters. The content analysis
  abstract: identified a set of 33 themes that dealt with all aspects of
  abstract: the course. Each theme was placed into one of the following
  abstract: seven general categories: enrollment decisions, single-visit
  abstract: field experiences, School Families Program experiences,
  abstract: leadership, career explorations, course design, and
  abstract: suggestions for course improvement. The inventory of
  abstract: recommendations addressed eleven concerns. Six
  abstract: recommendations suggested that these ideas be emphasized
  abstract: throughout the course: collaboration, school as a community
  abstract: of leaders, teacher leadership, role of the school nurse,
  abstract: the helping professions, and the relationship between student
  abstract: health and student achievement. Three additional
  abstract: recommendations elaborated instructional improvement
  abstract: strategies. The last two recommendations addressed logistics
  abstract: problems involving the integration of university-based and
  abstract: field-based experiences.
