Sink or Swim: A Model for Immersing Criminal Justice Doctoral Students in the Craft of Teaching

Abstract

This paper outlines a new model for teaching doctoral students in criminal justice how to teach. It stands in sharp contrast to another model constructed by Joanne Belknap in 1996. Whereas the Belknap model is based on vicarious learning, this new model is based on experiential learning. The new model holds promise for criminal justice educators who desire to experiment with a bold, daring and innovative approach.

Notes

1. Admittedly, collective point of view is rare in first person in fiction and is even more rare in academic journals. It implies a single narrator within the collective because there is a single voice. William Faulkner (1950) uses collective narration in his short story “A Rose for Emily.” I is never used. It is always we.
