The purpose of this book is to change the conversation about
teacher induction, preparation, and development and how we create
effective teachers. Our national discussion about how to create
effective teachers needs to move away from how higher education can
do a better job preparing our teachers and move toward how our
local schools can do a better job inducting, preparing, and
developing our teachers over a full career. There are two
interconnected and irrefutable reasons for this. First, school
culture supersedes all rational strategies for teacher development,
and, second, teachers learn to teach in the schools where they
work, not in higher education or any of the alternative routes
which the ineffectiveness of higher education teacher preparation
have caused to emerge. With the affirmation of these postulates,
this book clarifies that teachers are at their best when they are
working together in collaborative cultures where teacher thinking
and decision-making lead schools in continuous improvement and
change. Elaborating on the importance of these best conditions for
optimal teacher development, this book will insist that it is the
entirety of a school culture that produces effective teachers, and
schools with authentic learning communities produce the cultures
that produce effective teachers.
