Abstract
Faculty members in teacher education programs strive to design and deliver a set of courses that form a coherent teacher preparation program for their preservice teacher candidates; however, students often perceive their course work as a set of fragmented, disconnected learning experiences. In order to mitigate these challenges, many institutions have added a capstone experience to their programs. This chapter advocates for a capstone experience in which program completers can synthesize their program experiences and establish a solid foundation around which they can build their future ongoing professional development. A rationale for the capstone culminating experience and examples of capstone components are presented in this chapter. Suggested assignments and templates are also included.
