Abstract | When asked to address the challenges faced by teacher education in an increasingly global society, the author answers only from her place-based perspective: she teaches in a Southern, conservative, primarily rural state where Whites outnumber Blacks two to one and where nearly 20% of the population falls below the poverty line. Although there are countless issues in the increasingly global society that the author could talk about--new literacies, economic disparity, and so on--in this essay, the author speaks to two chief constraints that she and many of her departmental colleagues confront. The author focuses on these two issues: (1) critical pedagogy/theory war; and (2) diversity. The author presents her thoughts that open up a more honest and open dialogue among stakeholders so that teacher educators will prepare teacher candidates in the best way possible. (ERIC). |
