More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This open letter focuses on performance-based teacher education and certification (PBTE/C). The first section of the letter deals with anxieties about PBTE/C and about some of the people who have brought about this innovation. It comprises a survey. The second part of the paper makes various recommendations: a) the establishment of an independent PBTE/C Study Commission made up of teachers, researchers, academicians, laymen and the public; b) the development of a major experimental project in PBTE/C; c) implementation of the “paradigm for accountability,” a positive form of teacher accountability; and d) support by teachers everywhere of several important recommendations of the United Federation of Teachers’ Committee on Performance Certification. The final section of the letter acknowledges that PBTE/C can be a tremendous force for good as well as for ill and that there is much of value in it. (DDO
