Abstract	The author argues that case study instruction should be a central component to teacher preparation programs. It is a pedagogy that offers many opportunities and strategies for perspective teachers to gain insight into events that occur within the school and classroom. This paper describes the significance and research findings that support case study methodology and its advantages for future educators. The author offers strategies to incorporate this teaching method into a university/college classroom, as well as provides a detailed example of an effective program developed at Villanova University. The concept of "school smarts" receives treatment; an extensive annotated bibliography of case books is provided. (As Provided).
