As seen in the above examples, these student teachers have learned to assimilate and accommodate (Piaget, 1971) both past and present teaching influences. Implementing an extensive reading program during teaching practice, setting up a temporary reading corner or mobile library, creating a literacy-rich and print-rich environment, and involving parents in literacy events were among the initiatives promoted by this group of student teachers. As evidenced in online discussions, their desire to become agents of change, as informed by their professional practices in the college classroom, already sets them apart from their past and present government school teachers. A typical online discussion example includes the following:

I aspire to become a student teacher who encourages students to love reading, engage and involve them in reading sessions. Also, I will use different approaches like Reading Aloud, Shared Reading and Reader’s Theatre to motivate students and encourage them to participate in discussions. I won’t forget some of the old methods like using repetition and choral reading. In addition, I will become a teacher who applies the three stages of reading—pre, while and post-reading that will help students to comprehend the storyline. I want to make a difference.
