A License to Teach speaks directly to the quality-of-education
debate now focused on public schools. The authors show that reform
of teacher education and licensing are needed to ensure that
teachers are prepared for the classroom. A well-conceived licensing
system that supports high-quality teacher preparation would
ultimately support the more demanding learning goals now expected
of students and would give parents and policymakers greater
confidence that teachers are being prepared to practice their
profession responsibly. The authors propose a comprehensive plan
for licensing analogous to those in other professions. An extensive
analysis of licensing examination and preparation grounds specific
proposals for new assessments for teachers based on complex,
real-life teaching tasks. The book also describes the kind of
rigorous preparation program teachers should experience along with
a well-designed and supervised internship in specially-designated
professional development schools. This book offers much-needed,
practical advice on how to prepare and evaluate teachers for the
challenging work they must accomplish. Agreement on standards for
teacher preparation and licensing-among teachers, policymakers, and
lay people-would go a long way toward improving the quality of
education for children while also strengthening and improving the
teaching profession itself.
