Abstract
This case study looks closely at one preservice special education teacher candidate's views on how her coursework, program requirements, and practical experiences influenced her knowledge of teaching. Her perspectives are examined through the research-based frameworks of Hanline (2010), Shulman (1986), and Cochran-Smith and Lytle (1999). These three different frameworks outline the various types of knowledge needed for effective instruction. Further, this article provides insight into how preservice teachers' knowledge is constructed. This insight can influence program creation and implementation as well as help focus attention on teacher retention within special education in rural communities.
