Abstract
Many teacher candidates enter teacher preparatory programs with an innocent perspective about our discipline. Optimistic and focused on having a positive impact on young minds, they often haven't considered the struggles teachers face as they make daily decisions about curriculum, classroom management, communication with families and administrative responsibilites. As faculty responsible for teaching them and bridging the gaps between theory and practice, two professors chose project-based learning as our teaching strategy in our Foundations of Education course.
