Abstract | The lead author, who formerly presided over Columbia's Teachers College, examines the quiet aftermath of his brash call two years ago for sweeping changes in how universities educate school leaders, including his proposal to eliminate the Ed.D. Every year a multitude of organizations and commissions issue a cornucopia of reports about myriad education concerns. Most receive scant notice; a few enjoy their moment in the sun, a day of news media attention. As a rule, these reports have little impact on American education. The standard of success by which all education reports seem to be measured is Abraham Flexner's "Medical Education in the United States and Canada. Bulletin Number Four." Published in 1910 by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the report transformed the ways in which the nation's medical schools educate doctors. No other report in modern times has had this level of impact on a profession with the possible exception of "A Nation at Risk," which launched a two-decades-long school reform movement in the United States. This article discusses the reasons why the Flexner report was such a phenomenal success and examines "Educating School Leaders," which was the first in a series of reports on the state of America's education schools. Funded by the Annenberg, Ford, Ewing Marion Kauffman and Wallace foundations, the study involved large-scale surveys of education school faculty and deans as well as alumni and principals. The author included case studies of education schools, studies of the characteristics of education schools and their programs, their curricula, the degrees they award and the content of their student dissertations. This article presents three waves of response to "Educating School Leaders," ranging from acknowledgment to action. (ERIC). |
