Abstract
A growing number of voices now call for reform of K-12 schools, and the call is becoming louder each day, month and year that we ponder the question "how do we proceed?" Not surprisingly, a majority of the voices making the call and offering direction are outside of education. Perhaps that is to be expected because, as Joel Barker notes in the Power of Vision, new paradigms do not typically come from within but rather from areas external to the field being changed. Or maybe those voices from afar are a result of "prestige deprivation" that has clung to educators for years. While considerable uncertainty prevails, one certainty remains - the call for school renewal will continue and intensify.
The invitational working conference "A Dialogue on Teacher Education Reform" held on the University of Northern Iowa campus September 23-24, 1991, was one of 25 state conferences throughout the country addressing issues on restructuring teacher education. The conference was funded by the Education Commission of the States and the Danforth Foundation. It was conducted by the Iowa Department of Education (DE) and the Institute for Educational Leadership CIEL), a Division of the College of Education, at the University of Northern Iowa.
