| Abstract | Although educational reform for teacher education has been called for in many recent reports, educational reformers typically do not take time to define exactly what is to be changed, why, and how that change can be evaluated. Many of the conceptions for change are narrowly defined and vary among reports. Seven recommendations made by the National Commission on Excellence in Teacher Education report, "A Call for Change in Teacher Education," are delineated and discussed in terms of the varied and sometimes conflicting values set forth in such blueprints for educational reform. It is concluded that the report is a conservative document because it extends practices generally employed in schools of education. Unfortunately, the desire to increase competence as measured by standardized tests or by performance in traditional courses will work against the aim of bringing in new people with new ways of looking at the world. Whatever reform takes place at the state level should be done with this observation in mind. The key is to move reform in a way that truly balances conflicting needs. This cannot be accomplished through precipitous action or short-sighted legislative mandates. True reform will occur only through thoughtful dialogue, cautious optimism, and actions that are shaped through a merging of experience and research. (CB) |
