Many preservice teacher programs follow a clear progression of scaffolding within thestudent-teacher process, informing and supporting the learner, then slowly removing thestructure and support to give the learner more autonomy and responsibility as their skillsdevelop. We see many analogies between the process we undertook and student teaching.Effective Methods for Faculty Apprenticeship from Student TeachingSome effective strategies from preservice teacher training, which focus mainly on facilitatingmetacognitive development and personal growth, include reflexive practice and reflectivejournaling.

Again, this points to the need for energy education. The U.S.,the number one consumer of energy in the world, is often looked to for leadership.
