Description
Introduction Much of the discussion about teacher education in the United States and elsewhere is grounded in a particular set of assumptions. Teaching is done by people who are officially "teachers" and it is done in institutions called "schools." The debates then center around how such people should be educated so that they are better prepared to meet the needs of students, the economy, "our" cultural heritage, and even social transformation. It also often takes the form of a debate over whether such formal teacher education should be extensive or quite limited, whether it is best done in liberal arts colleges, in colleges of education, through decentralized market oriented mechanisms, or in other institutional forms (Apple 2001).
