Description

The essential goal for teacher education seems clear: to provide our nation’s schools with the best possible teacher candidates. This statement is a basic one, yet the ramifications for our nation’s children and our country’s future are critical. In the words of editor Michael D. Andrew, «Good teachers are at the heart of good schools, and to produce better teachers is to proportionately produce better education.» This book shows us how to provide the best possible preparation for our nation’s teachers. Through a case study of the five-year teacher education program at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and selected research articles and convention presentations related to the program, How Teachers Learn documents the evolution and achievements of a program that is a model of the best practices for teacher preparation.
