| Summary: | Over the past three decades, the landscape of educator preparation has changed so that more people can enter the teaching profession than ever before. Locating Quality in the Dynamic Educator Preparation Landscape centers on the experiences of a variety of preparation programs All accredited by the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP), each unique in its approach to addressing the needs of its prospective teachers and its local school partners. The book shows that while qualities can be shared, quality is fundamentally a divergent rather than a convergent characteristic and that program evaluation and accreditation regimes be framed accordingly. It argues that educational policy needs to be based on an appreciation of the many dimensions of quality program practice that are needed to address the varied and particular needs of school, communities and populations that are entering the educator preparation pipeline. So long as we are able to ensure that all pathways into teaching result in the preparation of effective educators who are able to serve students, schools, families and communities well by promoting student learning and thriving, we will reap the benefits of this new, varied, and dynamic landscape of educator preparation. |
