Who should evaluate laboratory schools engaged in teacher education

Since the beginning of the century there has been a remarkable development in the United States of secondary schools used for laboratory purposes for teacher education. These schools provide facilities for observation, participation, supervision of student teaching, and, occasionally such other functions as experimentation, research, and production of curriculum materials. Some of these are affiliated with state and non-state universities, others are affiliated with separate teachers colleges, still others are affiliated with colleges of liberal arts. A comparatively new development like this, with functions which transcend those of a secondary school for educating youth only, brings into the total educational situation a whole series of new problems. Without listing these the writer will present information on one only. Because of the relationships of such schools to the public school systems their administrative staffs normally desire to have them related functionally to the public schools and to accrediting agencies. However, the accrediting agencies for secondary schools have set up criteria for evaluating the educative functions for youth only and not for the teacher education functions
