Abstract

This qualitative case study examines preservice teachers’ (PTs) self-selected writer’s notebook (WNB) entries and written reflections in two literacy methods courses. The authors use thematic analysis to consider how the writer’s notebooks supported PTs’ learning to teach multilingual writers while concurrently writing for themselves and navigating contemporary sociopolitical contexts. The authors describe how PTs used their writer’s notebooks to process emotion and identity, develop professional stances, and build experiential knowledge around multilingual, multimodal writer praxis. The authors conclude with suggestions for teacher educators and researchers to expand these practices.
