The Underutilized Potential of the Hybrid Educator in Teacher Education

&
Pages 153-162 | Published online: 08 Jul 2011
 

Abstract

The hybrid educator is an essential contributor to the development of new public school teachers. A hybrid educator is a college adjunct professor employed full time by a public school system. The role of the hybrid educator involves the navigation of two separate systems in developing new teachers: the university and the public school. This requires working knowledge of the bureaucracies of dual systems in order to successfully interact in both. The hybrid educator is in the unique position of belonging to both institutions. The characteristics of hybrid educators will be identified, examples of their boundary crossings presented, and recommendations to effectively utilize their talents will be offered.
