Abstract	This paper offers an overview and analysis of the status of teaching as an occupation and of teacher development in the United States. An opening section describes the development of the industrial-based education model that has been in place for this century and the reform movements that have started in the past two decades. A section on the demands of these reforms notes that the rhetoric of school improvement has changed from a language of school reform to a language of school restructuring, as signs of dysfunction in the education system have joined with new social demands for greater education. This section also discusses teacher recruitment and current and future demand for teachers. A section on the status of teaching and teacher development notes that this is a critical moment for transforming the capacity of American teaching by transforming the quality of their preparation as fully half of teachers working in 2005 will be hired in the 1990s. This section discusses efforts and obstacles to improve teacher preparation and professional development. A following section describes teaching and teacher development abroad. Final sections discuss the possibilities for transforming teaching and developing new paradigms for school reform. Contains 77 references. (JB)
