In Beyond Alternative Teacher Education, John Watzke and his fellow
contributors present a bold vision for teacher education that moves
the dialogue into new realms of inquiry. Pairing teacher reflective
narratives with scholarly chapters, the volume presents the case
for programs of teacher formation based in the communal, social and
spiritual dimensions of teaching and educational leadership.
Beginning with historical tradition and program design, the book
also speaks to the importance of the work of program graduates,
their professional preparedness, and leadership development. Beyond
Alternative Teacher Education will challenge readers to reexamine
their notions of what it means to be prepared for work in education
and to serve society through education. "Beyond Alternative Teacher
Education presents the case for ACE as the continuing of a
tradition of 'service and justice' as carried out by the
educational ministry of religious orders. The three 'pillars' of
ACE, i.e., professional development, community and spirituality,
show that ACE is more than simply an alternative teacher
preparation program, it is a model of faith in action and a model
of teacher formation." Thomas C. Hunt Professor of Education,
University of Dayton Co-editor, Catholic Education: A Journal of
Inquiry & Practice "Community, spirituality and
leadership-these are not themes sounded frequently in discussions
of teacher education. Beyond Alternative Teacher Education,
however, puts them at the center, thereby creating a collection
that offers new perspectives on what 'alternative' teacher
education might mean. This is a book for all teacher educators."
Anne Ruggles Gere Professor of English and Professor ofEducation,
University of Michigan Past President, National Council of Teachers
of English "Beyond Alternative Teacher Education makes an important
and unique contribution to the field of teacher education. It moves
this dialogue past the short-sighted political fray and into
enduring, real and compelling issues of teacher formation. The
volume's chapters effectively pair scholarship and practical
experience. The ACE programmatic model, one that merges
professional, communal, and spiritual traditions in Catholic
education, has grown nationally as a movement in programs of
teacher and leadership education. This work represents a
foundational and significant contribution to the field of Catholic
education and the study of teacher formation." Terry A. Osborn
