Juan Araujo, Ph.D., faculty member and assistant dean in the College of Education and Human Services at Texas A&M University-Commerce, has released a new book titled “Handbook of Research on Reconceptualizing Preservice Teacher Preparation in Literacy Education.”
According to the publisher, the subject matter is in critical need of support to improve administrative, clinical, diagnostic and instructional practices related to the learning process.
Araujo said the book aims to ignite a conversation about the changes in educator preparation related to challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to virtual education.
