Educating for Democracy: Case-Method Teaching and Learning
This book advocates the use of case methods to promote democratic teaching and learning. Part I speaks directly to teacher educators. The chapters in this part suggest how and why they might use case methods at pre- and in-service levels. Part II presents a set of cases and teaching notes designed to stimulate active consideration of democratic teaching and learning in elementary and secondary schools throughout the United States. These cases can…

Whither Teacher Education? Or It Must Not Wither
Fifty Years of the Journal of Teacher Education
Reflections on Some Current Situations
Victory at Last After years of urging that American schooling practices catch up with Japanese education, critics and reformers can now celebrate. The nation is finally catching on to one Japanese practice: Saturday cramming sessions. Recent articles describe situations in several states indicating that children from Grades 1 through 12 are going to school on Saturdays to prepare, cram, and study for upcoming state or district tests.

Responding to Goodlad: The Primacy of Teacher Education in SCDEs
In his article in this issue, John Goodlad comments that a school of education not preparing teachers is an anomaly that provokes mischief (p. 334). We believe that as well as provoking mischief, it promotes disbelief. We strongly believe that the primary mission of schools, colleges, and departments of education (SCDEs) is the preparation of teachers. Many SCDEs have, in the last several decades, occasionally lost sight of this primary mission a…
To Test or Not to Test: That is Not the Question
We begin this editorial with a few caveats: We believe in and support the continuing evolution of better education for all Americans; we believe in the efficacy of sound, carefully planned and administered assessment programs; we believe in the preparation of teachers with solid academic knowledge, respect for all humans, and thorough methodological skills. Having said this, we also believe that some current trends and emphases being promoted in …

Quantity and Quality: Not Enough to Go Around
Education and teacher education continue to be topics of national discussion. The National Research Council released a report on beginning reading in which 17 reading experts called for an end to the reading wars over phonics and whole language, careful use of the best of both approaches, and intensive help for children with learning difficulties as early as possible. The panel also recommended smaller class sizes, closer coordination between tea…
Walkie-Talkie Gibberish and Real Writing: Looking Ahead and Back
The Summer of Our Discontent
Common Ground
Wisdom from the Young
As the 1996-1997 academic year ground to a halt, most teacher educators did their faculty duty by attending graduation at their institutions where they listened to the obligatory exhortations to the young to make the world a better place or some other platitude. At Nauset High School in North Eastham, Massachusetts, parents and classmates listened to graduating senior Tim Lovelock give his salutatorian address. In it, he reacted to the responses …

Reading the Papers During this past spring break, we drove east. Inveterate readers of newspapers, we read dailies from Des Moines, Cleveland, Erie, Buffalo, Albany, New York City, Boston, Burlington (VT), and Cape Cod. Like many of you, we had recently been in Phoenix for the AACTE Annual Meeting; we read dailies there as well and believe that what we write applies to the West as well as the East. Newspapers everywhere contain both news stories …
