Abstract
"Programs for the education of the nation's educators must be viewed by institutions offering them as a major responsibility to society and be adequately supported and promoted and vigorously advanced by the institution's top leadership." (Goodlad, 1990, p. 54).
As a new education dean, I can do little but heartily agree with Goodlad's first and primary recommendation. The unit responsible for training new teachers at a college or university must have the unwavering financial, political and professional support and respect of its central administration and other administrators and faculty who have key roles in making sure the unit is successful.
But, how can teacher preparation achieve this status in higher education? What must be done?
