Teacher Preparation
Teacher preparation is the first stage of the formal teacher development process. The urgency of successful education in an increasingly sophisticated economy and society has generated intense questions and debates about teacher preparation:
- How much subject matter knowledge and how much pedagogical knowledge should teachers have?
- Should requirements for entry into and graduation from teacher education programs be more stringent?
- How successful are the various programs in adequately preparing the kinds of teachers we need?
