Description

In partnership with the Teacher Education Council of State Colleges and Universities (TECSCU), this unique IEL working conference format was utilized at the 1994 Fall TECSCU Conference in Denver, Colorado. Conference participants self-selected one of four issue areas for indepth dialogue: (a) Changing the Architecture of the University to Support Teacher Education; (b) Expanding Technology to Change the Face of Teacher Education: What are the Possibilities?; (c) Defining and Disseminating Alternative Delivery Systems for Teacher Education: The University Response; and (d) Defining the Role of Teacher Education In Changing Schools. Prior to the conference, participants were invited to write a position paper relative to the issue area selected. To ensure active participation and lively dialogue, two dialogue groups were provided for each issue area. The goals for each dialogue group were to: (a) identify, define, and prioritize critical issues within the broader issue area; (b) explore options for resolution of the critical issues; and (c) reach consensus on recommendations for advancing interaction of higher education, teacher education, and school reform.

Time allowed for consensus only within each dialogue group. Consensus reports reflect the collective wisdom of the participants in each group and may not necessarily reflect the views of TECSCU institutions, or TECSCU itself. This compilation of position papers and issue area dialogue groups' consensus reports represents the individual and collaborative intelligence of educational leaders in TECSCU institutions relative to the dynamic interaction of higher education, teacher education, and school reform. It is the intent of TECSCU that this unique knowledge base, informed by professional practice, will offer innovative ideas and new insights to serve as a foundation for decisionmaking.
