What kind of experiences do children need in order to grow and learn? What kind of knowledge do teachers need in order to facilitate these experiences for children? And what kind of experiences do teachers need to develop this knowledge? A Good Teacher in Every Classroom addresses these questions by examining the core concepts and central pedagogies that should be at the heart of any teacher education program—and recommends the policy changes needed to ensure that all teachers gain access to this knowledge. This book is the result of a blue-ribbon commission sponsored by the National Academy of Education.

Looks at factors such as level of education, social class, gender, and motivation, with emphasis on the importance of cooperative education. Suggests closer relations between school and work, such as exist in the UK and Sweden, to facilitate transition into the labor market. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
