Abstract
Although research has shifted in recent years to focus on the importance of writing instruction for K-6 students, many teacher preparation programs still lack a course focused specifically on writing methods. Further, recent research suggests teacher educators should engage teacher candidates in a pedagogical learning cycle that includes representation, rehearsal, enactment, and analysis of core practices; however, there is little guidance on how courses might engage teacher candidates in the core practices of teaching writing. To provide such guidance, this chapter will discuss current research related to preparing effective K-6 teachers of writing and explore possibilities for intentional partnering with K-6 schools and community organizations to support teacher candidates' development as writing teachers. The aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of how teacher educators may design opportunities for teacher candidates to deepen their evolving pedagogical content knowledge of writing through application across a variety of contexts.

Reflective Cycles and Reflexive Learning Principles: Teaching Ethics from the Learner Outward1
Many versions of learning cycles for individuals and for organizations have been described by psychologists, social psychologists, and organizational theorists. The basic idea of a learning cycle emerges from the sense that people (and organizations, some argue) go on learning after they have gained a particular insight. Their new learning involves certain phases that seem to repeat each time a cycle occurs. Each theory about a learning cycle sounds pretty plausible, but that plausibility that rarely stands up to careful scrutiny in particular situations (or so the empirical research suggests). Nonetheless, such cycles resonate with experience sufficiently that teachers find the descriptions to be a useful tool for planning classes and for reflecting on how students are progressing.
