Focusing the Debate for Positive Change in Teacher Education. Proceedings of the Forum on Teacher Education (3rd, Little Rock, Arkansas, March 1987).
Education Commission of the States, Denver, CO.
In the third regional forum on positive change in teacher education, two themes dominated discussions: the pros and cons of the "fifth-year" plan for teacher education, and the impact and future of standardized testing. In both areas, a major emphasis on traditonally black institutions emerged. This report outlines the discussions, and presents excerpts from remarks of forum participants on the major themes under discussion. The impact of new state standards on institutions and the teaching profession was also discussed, focusing on implications for faculty and curriculum development. Notes are presented on statements about the progress of educational changes by representatives from Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. (JD)
