As instructors, we are continually learning from our teacher-candidates and our students while they are simultaneously learning from us. This mutually collaborative contribution is crucial to the learning process. For this reason, the course curricular should be designed to provide the aspiring teachers with as many opportunities as possible to ensure they gain the knowledge that's critical to helping them teach. The major aim of this chapter is to briefly overview the importance of motivation and engagement on teacher preparation process and student learning through thoughtful curriculum.
