The purpose of this investigation was to understand how teachers' perceptions of how they changed during the initial years of
teaching. Three middle and three high school teachers viewed thirty minutes of their internship video and answered seven open-ended
teacher related questions during a telephone interview. All participants had at least three years of teaching experience, and represented
North, Central, and South Florida. After the telephone interviews, the researcher transcribed the conversations which served as the
principal data used in this study. Findings indicated that participants changed the most in dealing with classroom management, diagnosing
and fixing classroom pedagogical tasks, and confidence in their teaching ability. Additionally, the directors had changed by performing
administrative tasks more efficiently. Directors also suggested that preservice teachers could develop into effective teachers by
participating in real-life teaching activities before and during the student internship. / A Dissertation submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the
