Praise for Powerful Teacher Education
"This book is evidence-based, readable, and the mostpowerful
case to date for the essential role of excellent teacher
preparation in the reform of the nation's schools. Reflecting
onpersonal experience, analyzing previous research, carefully
examiningthe practices of excellent institutions, and observing
practices in countries with high-performing students,
Darling-Hammond offers a series of affordable and practical
proposals to make excellent teacher preparation the norm. Teacher
educators and teachers will learn about effective practices, but
federal and state policymakers will find the solution that they
have been so desperately seeking for the nation's school
ills."
--Arthur E. Wise, president, National Council for Accreditation of
Teacher Education
"Powerful Teacher Education provides the professional
communitywith a very important framework for analysis and examples
of whatmust become the reality for all teacher education
candidates. Powerful Teacher Education produces teachers who can
serve all learners."
--Sharon Robinson, president, the American Association of Colleges
for Teacher Education
"If there is any doubt whether teacher education matters, this
volume clears it up powerfully and convincingly. It matters, and
itmatters in significant ways. By helping us see what quality
teacher education looks like in action, Darling-Hammond and her
collaborating authors paint a clear road map to excellence. Now we
must muster the political will to make this kind of preparation a
reality for all who would teach."
--Gloria Ladson-Billings, president, the American Educational
Research Association andprofessor of education, University of
