Abstract
This study investigated the efficacy of a site-based literacy methods course on preservice and inservice teacher development. Specifically, responses to Deford's Theoretical Orientation to Reading Profile, reflection journals, and questionnaires provided information on preservice and inservice teachers' beliefs and practices associated with literacy acquisitions and development. The site-based course appears to have had a positive impact on clarifying preservice teachers' beliefs regarding literacy acquisition and development.
