A Blueprint for Preparing Teachers provides a plan to produce high quality teachers who will remain in the profession and continue to grow throughout their careers. The plan includes three-components which must all be incorporated for a teacher education program to be successful: university curriculum and instruction that are state-of-the-art; strong collaboration among the university, school districts, and the community; and meaningful professional development. This book offers procedures to help facilitate the implementation of each of the three components.
Embedded in a dynamic historical perspective of teacher education, Pagliaro provides the fundamental structures and systems teacher education programs need to be successful. This book is a helpful reminder of how much work has been done in teacher education, but also how much farther we need to go. Using these basic building blocks, programs can begin to reach higher levels of impact from which to innovate.
