• The question of how best to train classroom teachers for the nation's schools has been a topic of continuing controversy. The book includes an account of the history of teacher education in the United States and provides an analysis of the major issues and problems surrounding teacher preparation. The author reveals the traditional four- year undergraduate programs - as well as the short-term "alternative" teacher certification routes - to be largely insufficient to the needs of teachers entering the nation's schools. In addition, he studies and critiques the so-called field-based models that have been touted as the wave of the future. The author offers a ... new direction fort teacher education reform for the twenty-first century. (DIPF/orig.).
