I highly recommend this book for its practical application to all of us who are responsible for the education and safety of students!

Perry Zirkel and Zorka Karanxhia have provided us with a valuable addition to the professional literature regarding legal entities and student teaching. The multifocused audience of teacher educators, student teachers, school teachers and administrators, plus those in the public sector concerned with education will profit from this salient legal primer., When it comes to the law, student teachers fall into a grey area for practitioners that can be confusing. Perry Zirkel and Zorka Karanxha's current and comprehensive treatment of the legal aspects of this key role in teacher education is a must read for everyone who has responsibility for student teachers' training and supervision.

Zirkel and Karanxha have effectively merged their legal and educational experiences into a must-have resource for a variety of audiences, including student teachers and their supervisors, P-12 cooperating teachers and administrators, and higher education professors., As a secondary school principal, I have found that candidates for teaching positions who ultimately become first-year teachers are misinformed or under-informed about school law topics. This primer is an excellent resource to bridge that gap, informing and preparing new teachers to avoid legal challenges by parents and other stakeholders. In addition, this primer could be used as a professional development resource to update seasoned professionals who have not had the time to remain current on legal issues that impact their role as classroom teachers.

SynopsisStudent teaching is the key phase in the preparation of the professional instructional personnel of the nation's schools. Yet, the burgeoning literature of education law lacks a comprehensive and current source specific to student teaching. This volume fills that gap. The first part of this volume consists of a legal primer designed to provide the basic building blocks that serve as the foundation for the aforementioned common core. The second and central part includes an illustrative synthesis of the various state laws specific to student teaching and canvasses the available court decisions specifically concerning student teachers and student teaching. The final part consists of a variety of useful materials in the form of appendices, including charts of relevant statutes and case law; selected case scenarios for the purpose of review and discussion; a glossary of acronyms, abbreviations, and legal terms; and a sampler list of relevant resources., This volume fills that gap in the burgeoning literature of education law that lacks a comprehensive and current source specific to student teaching.
