Abstract
I'm agreeing with Postulate Four: College and university faculty across the campus should be responsible for setting up the education format of future teachers.
We're in a time where the topic of education is mounting considerable discussion. Much of this discussion centers on how institutions are preparing teachers. College and university faculty are at the heart of supplying districts with teachers. To insure that school districts receive the highest quality teachers possible, colleges and universities need commitment from their faculty that teaching candidates receive a breadth of theoretical, apprenticeship and subject information. This can be achieved if preservice teachers have access to professors outside the education domain. The ideal curriculum for the preservice teacher is one that emphasizes a full range of classes throughout the campus. However, critics of teacher education programs believe candidates spend little time studying the research in their own field. The lack of time students spend on professional studies could be attributed to the limited amount of time for coursework and faculty members not familiar with current research.
