Abstract | With the rise of teacher testing, foundations scholars need to work together to ensure their courses remain a part of initial teacher credentialing. Many foundations people distrust teacher qualifying exams and accrediting organizations. Some scholars complain that the teacher tests discriminate against members of minority groups. Other professors claim that accrediting agencies ask faculty members to adopt an administrative mind-set that frustrates an evaluative stance toward education. While these views may be correct, problems arise when foundations scholars decide that they do not want to have anything to do with teacher tests or accreditation. In this article, the author wants to argue that the future of foundations depends on the ways teacher tests and accrediting organizations require Schools and Colleges of Education to attend to the foundations of education. At the present, foundations scholars have no connections with Praxis, NCATE, or TEAC. Worse, none of these organizations requires that prospective teachers study foundations of education with scholars trained in foundations. The result is that programs of teacher preparation can present the history of education, philosophy, or social foundations in inadequate ways. (ERIC). |
