Summary: "Since 1986, an extraordinary range of alternative teaching programs have emerged. In Teaching Teachers, education historians James W. Fraser and Lauren Lefty explore three developments that help explain the dramatic shift in how teachers are trained--(1) the emergence of an ethos that market forces were the solution to social problems, (2) the long-term dissatisfaction with the inadequacies of university-based teacher training, and (3) the frustration of school superintendents with the teachers themselves, who seem both underprepared and too quick to challenge established policy. The purpose of this study is not to take sides in the sometimes overwrought debate about what form of teacher education is best but rather to cast some light on the historical and social forces that led to such a sea change in the ways teachers are prepared in the United States. Teaching Teachers promises to be a substantial and needed history of this controversial topic"-- Provided by publisher
