Designed for pre-student teachers , who gain insights into the problems in teaching each topic and become aware of the materials available and of methods of instruction geared to the special type of student . When asked what is most memorable about their time with the ESL Program , former students invariably answer " my teachers , " citing their instructors ' kindness , quality of instruction , and attention to detail . The need is generated by home-schooled students ( of which there are over 1 million in the US ) , districts without a full complement of qualified teachers , and the children of migrant workers . I suggest that teachers , researchers , and anyone else working with at-risk teenagers examine their assumptions and try to develop an " and / but " relationships with them , dialogically assenting to the experiences and understandings of others that are different from our own . In the midst of this diversity , interviews with first-year teachers , veteran mentor teachers , and school administrators yielded a rather consistent picture of the beginning teacher experience .
