• Resumen

  • The purpose of this inquiry was to compare perceptions about teaching and the teaching lives of both a student teacher (Lindsey) and a first year teacher (Cory) working in two different music classroom settings. The research question was: What challenges and struggles are articulated by both Lindsey and Cory in their descriptions of their teaching lives? Lindsey, Cory and I drew primarily from narrative inquiry and data included teacher journals, observation, and interview. Issues and struggles that were common in both student teaching and the first year of teaching included: issues of time, the silencing of the beginning teacher, a need to be validated, the importance of teacher reflection, and issues of job security.
